December 2025 produced an unusual snapshot: the Chamber approved higher tariffs on Chinese goods and those from other nations lacking a trade deal with Mexico, and Movimiento Ciudadano was the only caucus to say no. Its platform bets on open trade, and in the quiz nobody rejects keeping those duties more firmly. Migration works the same way: its program calls for a humanitarian policy that lets people heading north cross Mexico, and its declaration of principles brands military deployments to contain them inhumane; no other party objects as strongly to blocking their way. So a theme on which the PAN, the PRI and SOMOS barely move from the average, "United States, trade and migration," is one of its most distinctive (1.33 points).
Its economics fit no single bloc. It shares with the PT the strongest support for taxing great wealth every year, which its platform would spend on a minimum income, yet it agrees with the PAN, and nobody else, on cutting debt even if spending must shrink; it also voted against the 2025 rise in excise taxes on soft drinks and tobacco. That mix gives it 1.48 points on "Economy and taxes," its second-largest gap. Energy blends things the same way: it welcomes private capital in electricity without dismantling the CFE, but stands alone in fully rejecting fracking, which its floor leader in the Chamber, Ivonne Ortega, proposed outlawing in the Constitution in April 2026.
On rights it occupies the pole opposite the PAN. Nobody supports as strongly letting trans people update their name and gender on official papers through a simple procedure, something its platform includes; its program asks health services to ensure legal abortion, and its platform to regulate cannabis, adult use included. In 2024 its lawmakers in Mexico City's legislature proposed legalizing euthanasia nationwide, and in the quiz its only companion there is SOMOS, with an estimated position.
Facing the government, it marches with the opposition and sometimes ahead of it. Its largest gap is "Justice and the judiciary" (1.95 points), where its deputies opposed every piece of the overhaul (elected judges, amparo limits, unchallengeable constitutional amendments), as did the PAN, the PRI and SOMOS. On nepotism nobody goes as far: its caucus voted against waiting until 2030, and Ortega demanded the rule cover the very next election. With the PRI, out of 37 statements sourced for both, the lone clash is immunity, and with SOMOS, out of 32, there is also only one. Despite that closeness, its leadership insists on running in 2027 without coalitions.
No party has fewer estimated positions: just 3 (centralized medicine purchasing, the return of full-day schooling and the age for opening social media accounts). Its 45 answers add up to 24 agreements, 7 intermediate positions and 14 disagreements, and on 16 it goes all the way to the end of the scale. Its theme nearest the average, "Water, farming and indigenous peoples," lies just 0.18 points away, the lowest figure for any party on any theme. By affinity, SOMOS comes first (89%), then the PRI (83%) and the PAN (73%); at the bottom are the PVEM (58%) and, last, Morena (56%).
How the eight parties’ places on the political compass are calculated, statement by statement, is explained in the analysis «Left-wing and right-wing parties in Mexico: the 2027 compass».
