MC

Jorge Álvarez Máynez leads it. Wikipedia describes it as centre-left and social democratic by its own account. It holds 27 Chamber seats, 5 Senate seats and 2 governorships, and is named in the race for the largest party in the 2027 Mexican legislative election.

History

The party was established on 1 August 1999 as Convergence for Democracy by civil society activists and former members of the Institutional Revolutionary Party. It took the name Convergence in 2002 and rebranded as Citizens' Movement in 2011. Since 2018 it has run independently as a third force between the governing Morena bloc and the opposition. In 2024 Jorge Máynez's presidential campaign received 10.32% of votes cast, making MC Mexico's third political force.

Positions

The party describes itself as social democratic, a label Wikipedia notes is disputed, and characterises it as centre-left and progressive. Its economic framework is a regulated market with active state intervention, and it champions social issues and sustainability. Under President Sheinbaum it opposes various institutional reforms and promotes a 40-hour workweek initiative.
