Mexican party lost way, former members claim

Tagged: , ,

“For 17 years Fernando Aboitiz helped the National Action Party transform itself from an idealistic underdog opposing an autocratic regime to Mexico’s dominant political force in a multiparty democracy.

But along the way, Aboitiz says, the party lost its soul.

The son of Spanish immigrants, Aboitiz was drawn to the conservative National Action Party, the PAN, for its defense of family values and democracy. But he became disillusioned in 2004 by the party’s drive to impeach leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, then Mexico City’s mayor, over a land dispute. Aboitiz quit in May.”
