Founded in 1939 by Manuel G贸mez Morin, the Partido Acci贸n Nacional (National Action Party), more commonly referred to as the PAN, is a center-right political party created in direct opposition to the then-ruling party鈥檚 (PRI) socialist agenda under President L谩zaro C谩rdenas. The party traditionally has been associated with the Catholic Church in many social positions (i.e., abortion, gay marriage, etc.) while also being a staunch defender of free-enterprise and free markets in the traditional economic ideological spectrum. 

Though the PAN won its first deputy races in the 1940s, the party remained on the fringes of the political scene until the mid-1980s, when its candidates started winning important mayoral offices in several larger cities in northern Mexico. By 1989, the PAN reached its first milestone, becoming the first party, other than the PRI, to win a gubernatorial race with Ernesto Ruffo鈥檚 election in Baja California. That victory propelled the PAN forward, and the party won other governorships throughout the 90s, such as Vicente Fox鈥檚 victory as governor of Guanajuato. However, the party鈥檚 most significant electoral victory came in 2000, with Fox鈥檚 election as president - the first opposition candidate to win the presidency of Mexico, thus ending the 笔搁滨鈥檚 hegemonic, 71-year-long rule. The PAN retained the presidency in the 2006 election when Felipe Calder贸n (2006-2012) defeated the then-Mexico City mayor, Andr茅s Manuel L贸pez Obrador (AMLO).  Calder贸n鈥檚 term was marked by moderate economic growth and a war on drugs, leading to 100,000 deaths, of which 40,000 were related to cartel wars over six years. In 2012, Calder贸n鈥檚 PAN sought Presidential reelection but lost to the then-former governor of the State of M茅xico, Enrique Pe帽a Nieto (PRI).

During the Pe帽a Nieto administration, the PAN was instrumental in approving much of the president鈥檚 reform agenda, including the education, telecommunications, and energy reforms. However, since the 2015 midterm elections, the PAN has opposed the PRI, rallying against the incumbent government in its multiple corruption scandals. 

Currently, the PAN holds  of the seats in the Senate (20 senators in total), nearly  of the seats in the Chamber of Deputies (79 positions in total),  mayorships, and five out of 32 governorships (Aguascalientes, Chihuahua, Guanajuato, Quer茅taro, and Yucat谩n).
