The political coalition formerly known as “Va por México” has recently changed its name to “Frente Amplio por México” (Broad Front for Mexico). The coalition, which brings together the conservative National Action Party (PAN), the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), aims to participate in the upcoming midterm elections in Mexico. In addition to the name change, the coalition will also present a candidate on September 3, although it is not yet clear who that candidate will be.
This move comes amid a heated political climate in Mexico, with the ruling party, Morena, facing criticism for their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing security issues. The coalition’s decision to join forces could potentially present a major challenge to Morena’s dominance in the upcoming elections.
The formation of this coalition is an intriguing development, given the historically diverging ideologies of the PAN, PRI, and PRD. However, the shared goal of opposition to Morena appears to have united them. The upcoming elections in Mexico will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications and will be closely watched by both national and international observers.
