the pvem platform may be viewed at the following url
http://www.pvem.org.mx/frames/frame3.htm
the party stands for environmental protection through
the use of government regulation, minimum wages,
employment for all, social security for all,
decentralization of government, protection of
indigenous peoples, universal sufferance, universal
education.
there are concerns that president fox will find it
difficult to work with congress. the alliance was more
of a practical than an ideological nature.
The mexican stock market advanced significantly upon
news of the election results. see
