The Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (Spanish: Partido Verde Ecologista de México, pronounced [paɾˈtiðo ˈβeɾðe ekoloˈxista ðe ˈmexiko], PVEM or PVE) is a green political party in Mexico. Founded in 1986, the party is associated with Jorge González Torres and his son Jorge Emilio González Martínez. It has seldom gotten more than 10% of the vote nationwide, but in the 21st century has joined alliances with different major parties (PAN in the federal elections of 2000, PRI from 2003 to 2018, and most recently MORENA from 2019 on).
It is not recognized as a fellow green party by the European Green Party, and is known for its heavy use of advertising,[7] and for (at times) taking stances on issues not usually associated with the international Green movement (such as support for capital punishment and extension of school hours, and opposition to LGBT rights).[8][9]
Yet year after year, the Greens manage to blanket cities in disproportionate fashion with billboards, radio spots, bus ads, and propaganda during previews in cinemas — sometimes eliciting boos from audiences.
