The mandate revocation exercise that took place in January in Oaxaca is being hailed as a significant event that empowers leftist governments across Mexico, as stated by José Antonio Rueda Márquez, the national coordinator of the Left Unity group. Rueda emphasized that the initiative marked an important historical moment for the people of Oaxaca, who boldly organized this process midway through the six-year term of their governor.

In his interview with Milenio, Rueda reflected on the importance of the democratic exercise, highlighting that it allowed for genuine citizen participation in assessing the state's government performance. He suggested that the opportunity for citizens to voice their opinions on governance is crucial for democracy, as it enables the populace to express their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their leaders’ actions.

Moreover, Rueda warned that the current administration, often referred to as the Fourth Transformation (4T), must remain responsive to the people's needs. He cautioned that ignoring societal concerns could lead to a fate similar to that of the PRI and PAN parties, which are now facing widespread public discontent and rejection. In essence, the revocation process in Oaxaca serves as a case study for the left-wing governments in power, signifying the necessity of ongoing dialogue with citizens to sustain their political relevance.
