• This marked an unprecedented campaign strategy in Mexico, with the entire attack focused on the leading candidate.

Current Scenario and Challenges

Jorge Álvarez Maines as the Chosen Candidate

Connections to Calderonism within MC

This section explores the connections between MC and the Calderón administration. It highlights key figures within MC who have ties to Felipe Calderón and Margarita Zavala.

Connections to Felipe Calderón

Importance of Distance from Calderonism

• Given the negative impact associated with the Calderón administration, it is essential for politicians to distance themselves from this political ideology.

• A good measure for evaluating national politics should be how far someone stands from calderonism.
