  • The PAN CDMX party president, Luisa Gutiérrez, promised a level playing field for all candidates aspiring to public office in 2027.
  • The party is launching clear rules for citizen participation and outreach to hear community concerns.
  • This initiative aims to strengthen the party's connection with citizens and position it as a firm opposition voice.

Luisa Gutiérrez, president of PAN CDMX, has guaranteed a "level playing field" for all individuals, whether party members or citizens, who aspire to hold elected office in 2027. She emphasized that clear rules will be established to ensure broad citizen participation.

According to Gutiérrez, these measures align with the party's statutes, doctrine, and vision, formalizing its commitment to opening up to society. The party seeks to allow citizens to defend their communities and contribute their best efforts, reflecting the party's outlook. In line with this, PAN CDMX members, neighbors, councilors, deputies, and leaders have taken to the streets to engage citizens who desire change in their local environments.

This outreach is framed as a response to the "abuses of the regime currently governing this country and, of course, CDMX." As part of the Second Simultaneous National Activation, PAN members in the capital, led by Gutiérrez, are engaging with residents across all 16 mayoralties to listen to and address their daily concerns, complaints, and demands.

Gutiérrez stated, "It is about listening to their needs and continuing to strengthen dialogue as part of a new alliance to listen, propose, and resolve, being a firm opposition voice for Mexico." The party is actively visiting homes to gather input and highlight the successes of its administrations in Benito Juárez, Miguel Hidalgo, Cuajimalpa, Coyoacán, and Cuauhtémoc.

The Second Simultaneous National Activation responds to citizens' calls for political actors, particularly the opposition, to be more accessible and directly involved in the community. Gutiérrez noted that this is a long-standing practice for the National Action Party, dating back to its origins. She stressed the need for greater tools to confront power and support the party's long-held commitment to citizen causes. Héctor Barrera, the general secretary of PAN CDMX, added that this initiative has been well-received by families, who are enthusiastic about the party's commitment to regular, unwavering street engagement.
