Morena
2014– · Mexico · Left Populist · Electoral party · coding confidence medium
Each axis runs from −10 to +10, with zero a genuine mixed or balanced position rather than an absence of opinion. A score describes a stated position and a governing record; it is not a judgement of merit. What each score means →
Core principles
The people against the neoliberal elite; austerity in government, transfers to the poor, national energy sovereignty.
Economic model
Doubled minimum wage, universal pensions, state oil and electricity priority, cancelled private infrastructure contracts.
Organisation of powers
Elected with large majorities; pursued judicial elections, weakened autonomous regulators, and pressured the electoral institute.
Reading note
Redistributive economics with a contested record on independent institutions — a pattern the atlas records on the left as readily as on the right.
