Citizens' Movement (Spanish: Movimiento Ciudadano) is a Mexican centre-left political party. The party was founded in 1999, under the name Convergence for Democracy, which was then shortened to Convergence in 2002 and changed to Citizens' Movement in 2011.[10]
Established on 1 August 1999, Convergence for Democracy was founded by civil society activists and former Institutional Revolutionary Party members, advocating for a social market economy and democratic reforms aimed at increasing citizen participation in governance. Once the drug war started, the party included demilitarization efforts and drug regulation in its platform. Initially aligning with left-wing coalitions since its inception, disagreements with left-wing parties prompted the party's shift to independence in elections from 2012 onwards, although it briefly joined a coalition during the 2018 elections. Since then, it has heavily focused on sustainability and social issues in its party platform.
It is a minor political force in the country, only receiving around 7% of the votes cast in the 2021 legislative election and has yet to secure victory in a presidential race. As of 2023, it has 384,005 members, and its members are known as emecistas.
