The coalition formed by Morena, PT, and PVEM must be preserved ahead of the 2027 elections, to block the path of the right and maintain the qualified majority in Congress that has made it possible to advance constitutional reforms, said PT legislators and the Mexico City Secretary of Government.

Interviewed in the context of the 30th International Seminar Parties and a New Society, the senator and national leader of the PT, Alberto Anaya, stressed that the alliance “has to be maintained, because it is a necessity for the country.”

The leader of the PAN, Jorge Romero, announced that in Chihuahua they are building an alliance with the PRI, arguing that “we are going to do what we have to do to keep the government” of that state.
