PT Urges Green Party Not to Fracture Coalition, Rejects Conditions

Mexico's Labor Party (PT) has called on the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM) to demonstrate "heightened vision" and refrain from imposing conditions that threaten the "Juntos Hacemos Historia" coalition. This appeal follows a statement by PVEM's national political coordinator, Arturo Escobar y Vega, who linked the alliance for the upcoming Chihuahua election to the designation of Cruz Pérez Cuéllar as the state's coordinator for the Defense of National Transformation and Sovereignty.

Lilia Aguilar Gil, the PT leader in Chihuahua, responded by emphasizing the need for cohesion and foresight as electoral definitions approach. She categorically rejected any attempts at conditioning that could internally fracture the movement. While acknowledging PVEM's freedom to express preferences, Aguilar Gil stressed that the "Fourth Transformation" derives its strength from consensus, clear rules, and the will of the people, not from impositions.

As founders of the "Fourth Transformation," Aguilar Gil asserted that the PT remains committed to progressivism and popular causes. She stated that the legitimate path for defining coordinations and candidacies within the movement is through surveys, ensuring that citizen voices guide decisions free from external pressures. The PT leader, also a federal deputy, argued that legitimate aspirations and differing criteria should not be used as divisive tools, and external parties should not interfere in the "Fourth Transformation's" decisions.

Aguilar Gil further suggested that internal divisions within the National Action Party (PAN) stem from a lack of significant political figures and power struggles. She urged the "Fourth Transformation" forces to respond with temperance, congruence, and a focus on the well-being and future of Juárez and the entire state. The PT's stance underscores a commitment to internal democratic processes and warns against external manipulation that could weaken the progressive movement.
