Jesús Sesma, coordinator of the Partido Verde Ecologista de México (PVEM) bench in the Mexico City local Congress, appeared on Monday at Jardín Pushkin in the Roma neighborhood for the launch of the ‘Guardianes Verdes’. This project includes the first 35,000 followers in the party's strategy for the 2027 elections in the capital.
At the event, Sesma stated: “I accept the challenge for 2030, no one backs down here, the Green Party grows here, the Green Party will win”. He has promoted initiatives on environment and animal welfare in the capital Congress.
The PVEM chose to compete without coalitions in Mexico City, breaking from previous alliances such as with Morena. This strategy aims to test its electoral strength independently, though specialists warn of risks against more established parties.
Sesma aims to capitalize on the green vote in sustainability and urban policies, positioning himself as the virtual candidate for head of government.
