During its National Political Conference, which took place over the weekend, PCM decided to present its candidates so that Mexican voters “have an option for radical change, to put an end to injustice and bring the workers to power. That is the option that the Communist Party of Mexico represents,” reads a statement published on social networks.
"Now that the six-year term of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has concluded, the outcome is of an anti-worker and anti-popular government, concerned about the profits of the monopolies, toward which he assured conditions of peace and social stability, while the workers and the people maintained their conditions of impoverishment, with more than 50 million in a situation of extreme poverty, salaries without purchasing power despite the increases. A demagogic government that has nothing to do with the left", the Communist Party stresses out.
