political parties in Mexico

Mexico’s political landscape features several major parties representing diverse ideologies. The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) historically dominated for much of the 20th century, now more moderate. The National Action Party (PAN) leans center-right, advocating economic liberalization and conservative social policies. The Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) and Morena (Movimiento Regeneración Nacional) are left-leaning, focusing on social justice and government reforms. These parties compete in elections, shaping policies on economic development, social issues, and governance. Mexico’s multi-party system encourages political pluralism, with coalitions often forming to address the country’s complex social and economic challenges.
