The domination of the ruling party over opposition political parties has led to the possibility that various groups will request their registration as new franchises with the INE. The aim is to reshape the national political spectrum to offer new options to the electorate and motivate more than 40% of voters who abstained in the previous elections.
The prerogatives granted by the Electoral Institute to political parties are considered excessive compared to the shortages faced by a large part of the population. Democracy in Mexico has a high cost, and the current funding scheme for new political parties maintains the necessary spending to sustain the democratic regime.
A possible shift towards a regime of autocracy is looming, where the final decisions on the authorization of new political parties could depend more on the President of the Republic than on established regulations. In a country where presidential approval is key, the final filter for the creation of new political franchises could come from the National Palace.
Members of the National Civic Front must prepare to obtain the necessary support and meet the legal requirements to form a new party. This political option is expected to attract voters disappointed by traditional parties that have lost credibility.
Despite the challenges, figures like Guadalupe Acosta Naranjo, Emilio Álvarez Icaza, Gustavo Madero, and other recognized political leaders are determined to face this new stage. The emergence of new political parties is perceived as a breath of fresh air for democracy, offering alternatives to the electorate beyond conventional parties.
