PAN CDMX gains over 200 Morena and Green Party leaders ahead of 2027 elections

The National Action Party (PAN) in Mexico City has significantly bolstered its ranks by welcoming over 200 political leaders from the ruling Morena party and the Green Party (PVEM). This influx of figures is intended to strengthen the opposition's territorial operations in preparation for the 2027 electoral process.

“

It is an effort to build a responsible opposition by joining the efforts that the party is making on the street every day.

The group of former "4T" (Fourth Transformation) militants is headed by Gabriel Escobedo, a former federal deputy for the Green Party who represents constituents in Azcapotzalco. Escobedo and his supporters are now aligning with the PAN, aiming to bolster the opposition's efforts on the ground. Ernesto Pérez, the PAN's electoral secretary, stated that this move will reinforce work in Azcapotzalco, a district currently under Morena's governance.

“

More and more leaders are joining the PAN because Morena defrauded them with their hope for a 'change.' Today their militants are disappointed.

Héctor Barrera, the PAN CDMX's secretary-general, explained that these politicians are joining the opposition due to feeling "defrauded" by Morena's promises of change. "More and more leaders are joining the PAN because Morena defrauded them with their hope for a 'change.' Today their militants are disappointed," Barrera remarked. He added that many citizens are "angry about Morena's bad decisions, worried about the insecurity offered by the central government, and unsatisfied by deficient health services."

Thousands of city dwellers are angry about Morena's bad decisions, thousands of families are worried about the insecurity offered by the central government, and thousands of families are unsatisfied by deficient health services.
