‘Stronger than ever’: PVEM says alliance with PT and Morena continues prior to electoral reform

Carlos Puente, the coordinator of PVEM deputies, emphasized that the legislative alliance with Morena and PT is stronger than ever amidst discussions on electoral reform.

Carlos Puente, the coordinator for the Green Party (PVEM) deputies in Mexico, declared that the legislative alliance between PVEM, the ruling party Morena, and the Labor Party (PT) remains robust in light of ongoing discussions regarding electoral reform. He dismissed rumors of a potential split among the coalition parties, asserting their unity as they prepare for upcoming legislative and electoral processes. Puente reiterated the commitment of the coalition toward achieving a "qualified majority" in the forthcoming legislative discussions.

The backdrop of this declaration is the electoral reform proposal introduced by Claudia Sheinbaum, the leader of Morena, which aims to strengthen democracy in Mexico. Sheinbaum has made it clear that the proposal should not be interpreted as a shift towards authoritarianism but rather a necessary measure to improve the democratic process. Although the definitive text of the reform has yet to be released, its implications for the political landscape are significant, especially as it aligns with the coalition's strategic goals.

As discussions on the reform progress, the PVEM's assertion of a strong alliance highlights the current political dynamics in Mexico. The coalition's ability to maintain unity is pivotal as they confront criticism and push back from opposition parties. The success or failure of this alliance will not only influence the electoral reform debate but also shape the parties' prospects in the upcoming elections, making their cooperation critical in the months ahead.
