The National Regeneration Movement (Spanish: Movimiento de Regeneración Nacional), commonly referred to by its syllabic abbreviation Morena ([moˈɾena]), is a left-wing political party in Mexico.[34] Founded in 2011 by Andrés Manuel López Obrador as a civil association and registered as a political party in 2014, it emerged from López Obrador’s break with the Party of the Democratic Revolution.[35][36][37] Since its formation, Morena has grown rapidly to become the dominant political force in the country.[34][38]

Morena’s platform combines elements of left-wing populism, progressivism, and social democracy.[34][39] It opposes neoliberal economic policies and supports expanded social welfare programs, increased public investment in infrastructure, and state control over strategic industries such as energy, oil, and electricity.[34][39][40][41] Drawing substantial backing from working-class voters, rural communities, the urban poor, and regions historically underserved by federal investment, Morena positions itself as an alternative to the long-dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the conservative National Action Party (PAN).[41][42][43]

As of 2025, Morena holds the presidency, majorities in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, and most governorships, making it the largest political party in Mexico by representation.[44][45][46] It also holds significant influence over the federal judiciary, with many elected judges having ties to the party.[47][48] As of 2023, it is also the largest political party in Mexico by number of members.[49] The party’s dominance has reshaped Mexico’s political landscape, ushering in what some analysts describe as a new era of hegemony.[50][51][52]
