Former Mexican President Vicente Fox called on opposition forces to build a broad alliance and “crush Morena” in the 2027 elections. He made the appeal at the National Youth Meeting of the National Action Party, or PAN, in Aguascalientes, where more than 5,000 young PAN supporters had gathered.

Fox said the alliance should bring together democratic or partly democratic parties, including the PRI, even if they were not the groups its members liked most. He argued that shared commitment to opposition politics, Mexico and what he called Western civilization’s values should outweigh those differences.
