MEXICO: FCM tentatively starts to take shape
Mexico’s broad new opposition coalition, the Frente Ciudadano por México (FCM), has taken a new step towards its political consolidation. The three parties that have agreed to form the FCM – the right-wing Partido Acción Nacional and the leftist Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) and Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) – have formally registered the electoral alliance with the national electoral institute (INE). Yet the FCM’s prospects are highly uncertain. Support for the coalition among its member parties is by no means unanimous and these have yet to agree on the mechanism by which they are to select a presidential candidate to run in next year’s general election. This is a key issue that could lead to the FCM’s unravelling if no arrangement that satisfies all members can be reached.
