Social Encounter Party was a Mexican conservative political party established on the national level in 2014 and dissolved in 2018. It is part of the coalition Juntos Haremos Historia with the National Regeneration Movement and Mexico’s Labor Party for the 2018 Mexican election. The PES tends to include many strands of Christian humanist thought and is generally socially conservative, and Flores has stated that it is a "family" party. The Baja California state party uses a stylized ichthus in its logo, which is not used by the national organization. The party characterizes itself as the "party of the family". It opposes same-sex marriage and was responsible for reforms to the Baja California constitution in 2008 that established marriage as "between one man and one woman". In 2015, the PES gubernatorial candidate in the state of San Luis Potosí compared homosexuality to drug trafficking and violence. Likewise, it opposes abortion and pornographic magazines. Other proposals made by the PES include shifting the collection of value-added tax to the states instead of the federal government and consolidating it with income tax.
