Everything about Partido Del Trabajo totally explained
The
Labor Party (
Partido del Trabajo, abbreviated as "PT") is a nationally recognized
political party in
Mexico. It was founded on
December 8,
1990. The party is currently led by
Alberto Anaya.
The PT's roots lay in a network of
community organizations formed by
Maoist activists. The party first participated in
federal elections in 1991, but it failed to win 1.5 percent of the vote (the amount necessary to be recognized as a national party). In
1994,
Rosario Ybarra, the prominent activist, became the presidential candidate but later declined in favor of
Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas.
In
1998 the PT allied with the larger
Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) for the first time in the state of
Zacatecas. In the
2000 elections, the party took part in the PRD-led
Alliance for the Good of All. As part of the Alliance, it won 7 seats in the
Chamber of Deputies and 1 seat in the
Senate.
The PT ran separately from the PRD in the
2003 elections for the Chamber of Deputies. The party won 2.4 percent of the popular vote and 6 out of 500 seats in the
Chamber of Deputies.
In
November 2005, the PT endorsed the PRD's candidate for
President,
Andrés Manuel López Obrador for the
July 2006 elections. In these elections the party won 12 out of 500 seats in the
Chamber of Deputies and 3 out of 128
Senators.
In
October 2006, the PT further allied itself with the PRD and the Convergence Party to form the
Progressive Broad Front (FAP for its Spanish initials), which was granted the register by the Federal Electoral Institute.
