During his initial message, Acosta Naranjo criticized that the federal government seeks, through various “undemocratic” mechanisms, to remain in power for decades, which is why he considered it necessary for there to be an opposition force that emanates from the citizens.
“It is going to be our turn to fight the battle and we are going to win this battle, as we have won many battles in the history of democratic Mexico. “We are going to analyze whether it is convenient for a new political force to be formed in Mexico,” he declared.
The leader of the National Civic Front reported that on January 20, 2025 he will call on his supporters to submit the application for registration of a new party to the National Electoral Institute (INE).
He noted that, in accordance with the legislation for the creation of new parties, the National Civic Front will have all of 2025 to gather the necessary members and obtain its registration with a view to participating in the 2027 elections.
He highlighted that one of the rules of the new party prohibits leaders from being candidates for elected office. In this regard, he made reference to the 2024 elections, when the leaders of the PAN, Marko Cortés, and the PRI, Alejandro Moreno, headed the lists of multi-member candidates for the Senate of the Republic.
“No one is going to accuse us of forming this political force to see where we fit in,”
Guadalupe Acosta Naranjo, leader of the National Civic Front.
“Those of us who want to be in the leadership of a party are going to stay there, and the candidates cannot be leaders,” he stressed.
Among those attending the National Civic Front assembly were former senators Emilio Álvarez Icaza and Gustavo Madero; the former PRD member, Fernando Belaunzarán; the former national leader of the PRD, Carlos Navarrete; the writer Elena Chávez, and Adrián LeBarón, among others.
