Nominee
It became an official coalition on 19 November 2023, once Claudia Sheinbaum registered as the sole pre-candidate [11] for the presidency of the republic by the National Regeneration Movement, the Labor Party, and the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico for the 2024 general election. [12]
The coalition's political platform, as well as the government program, primarily emphasizes a mixed economy; the promotion of “Mexican humanism”; well-being and social justice; continuation of the current government's programs; and the rescue of the countryside and food self-sufficiency. [13]
Regarding the rule of law and electoral policies, they seek to limit the power of the National Electoral Institute and the Electoral Tribunal over the parties, as well as significantly reduce the cost of the bureaucratic apparatus in charge of organizing, supervising, and qualifying electoral processes. They strive to modify constitutional provisions in order to prevent being forced to choose between justice and the rule of law, as well as to enhance participatory democracy. [14]
