History
States where the coalition is fielding candidates for the Chamber of Deputies:
  Alliance in all of the state's electoral districts
  Alliance in some of the state's electoral districts

The coalition arose in opposition to MORENA, its political alliance Juntos Haremos Historia, and the presidency of Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

Marko Cortés, National President of the PAN, assured that although there was debate over the coalition within the party, the critical situation in the country, where "institutions and the democratic system are threatened", was put at the forefront of the decision to participate. He also stressed a modernization agenda and the objective "to defend what we have achieved over many years".[2]

The coalition claims to support social causes, the defense of employment, support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and the eradication of violence against women.[4]

The coalition will field candidates in 171 of the 300 federal electoral districts, covering all the districts of 18 states and some districts of five others. Of these, 60 will belong to the PRI, 57 to the PAN, and 54 to the PRD.[3]

The coalition is also competing in the 2021 state elections, in which the governors of 15 states will be elected. In each state, the coalition is made up of different parties, incorporating in some cases state political parties.
