Mexico hasn't followed Latin America's shift to the right, and much of the opposition has been contained or even absorbed by the governing Morena party. So what's the state of Mexico's "missing" opposition?

During this March 3 Americas Society event, Alex González Ormerod says that opposition movements' reluctance to define themselves as right-wing "forbids them to be coherent, which would allow them to better organize." As much of the opposition has been contained or even absorbed by the governing party, "it's interesting to see that the opposition to some degree for MORENA has been the small parties within its own coalition," explained Carin Zissis.

From a potential libertarian candidate and struggling MAGA allies to recent electoral reforms, the panelists talked with moderator Brian Winter what could emerge in Mexico's political landscape.
