Progressive Movement (Mexico)

The Progressive Movement (Spanish: Movimiento Progresista) was a political alliance formed between the Democratic Revolution (PRD), Labor Party (PT) and the Citizens' Movement (MC), which contested the 2012 Mexican general election.

Its presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador came in second place, losing to Enrique Peña Nieto.

[2] As a left-wing alliance , it proposed, in the words of its candidate López Obrador, "an alternative nation project that seeks to change the neoliberal policy that has developed in Mexico since the mid -1980s."

In July 2013, Marcelo Ebrard took up the name again to create an expression of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), the Progressive Movement, which in January 2014 became a civil association with the name of Movimiento Progresista AC.

After the loss, López Obrador told a rally in Mexico City's main plaza Zocalo on 9 September 2012 that he would withdraw from the Democratic Revolution Party "on the best of terms," as well as the Labor Party and Citizens' Movement (MC).
