Mexico's Ecologist Green Party has taken a unique path to political prominence, aligning itself strategically with various ruling parties to secure a significant presence in Congress. Despite its name, the party has not been primarily focused on environmental causes but rather on forming alliances to gain political influence.
Founded by a wealthy pharmacy chain owner, the Green Party has advocated for diverse policies over the years, including controversial measures such as the death penalty for kidnappers and mandatory English classes for students. However, its success can be attributed to its adeptness at distributing campaign merchandise and leveraging social media influencers and celebrities for support.
