Since the leader of the Citizen Movement (Movimiento Ciudadano), Jorge Álvarez Máynez, spoke these words in December 2024, many have begun to take emecismo seriously as a force that could challenge the hegemony of the 4T in one of its most important strongholds. This time, with the appearance of the 'We are Mexico' group in the dispute for the nation, these words may carry even more weight among the disillusioned members of the PAN, PRI, and the remnants of the PRD still in the lands of the State of Mexico, in favor of a grand alliance led by MC. The story is as follows. A clear growth in the state, and from We are Mexico of Guadalupe Acosta Naranjo, they look favorably on joining forces with MC. Colosio arrives in Hermosillo to activate his candidacy for governor of Sonora. The replacement of Dante Delgado at the head of MC maintains a positive perspective on the sympathy of emecismo among the people of the State of Mexico and predicts a steep fall of Morena in Edomex, starting with the intermediate election of 2027 and impacting the governorship in 2029. This editorial has already reported on the direct dispute between Máynez and Secretary Omar García Harfuch over the pending issue of security in this federal entity, despite the 'Swarm Operations' which heavily damaged the emecista structure in the State of Mexico. The Zacatecan politician bets on the wear and tear of the 4T with the help of Juan Zepeda, the old and successful operator of the PRD now graduated as a Mexican strategist of MC. At that time, his presence in the center of the country was logical, and even today if you ask Máynez about this decision, he insists on remaining at the head of the party to outline the details of MC's presidential campaign in 2030, perhaps led by Samuel García. But as the months went by, tired of the ways and times of morenism in the Government Palace of Toluca, and with a dizzying operation that made more than one in Delfina Álvarez's Cabinet raise their eyebrows, these opposition sympathizers saw Máynez's figure grow in the national showcase that his caucuses in San Lázaro and the Senate of the Republic give him. Furthermore, MC's numbers in Edomex are not negligible: from obtaining 5% of the vote in 2021 with 354,000 votes, the orange party obtained 10% of the polls three years later, with just over 800,000 votes in 2024. And from there also the flirting of the oranges with the PAN, whose leadership dismisses a national alliance but has gotten into trouble explaining how that will be resolved locally: Nuevo León, Durango, Aguascalientes, and now it could happen with Edomex. 'We can conquer the State of Mexico in 2029'. Local businessmen and caciques from the State of Mexico were surprised that Máynez moved to the municipality of Valle de Bravo two years ago, at the beginning of the presidential campaign.
