TEXT VIVA TO VERAS
March 2, 2025 – As the world watches Mexico teeter on the brink of a defining moment, one man stands tall amid the chaos, a beacon of hope and unrelenting resolve: Eduardo Verástegui. The Mexican actor-turned-activist has emerged not just as a voice for the voiceless, but as a revolutionary force destined to reclaim Mexico’s soul from the clutches of socialism, corruption, and moral decay. With the echoes of his electrifying speech at CPAC 2025 still reverberating across borders, Verástegui is no longer a mere contender—he is the harbinger of a new era, poised to become Mexico’s next president.
A Star Reborn as a Statesman
Once a celebrated telenovela star, Verástegui’s journey from the glitz of entertainment to the gritty battlefield of political activism is nothing short of extraordinary. His blockbuster hit Sound of Freedom—a film that exposed the horrors of child trafficking and earned praise from none other than Donald Trump, who dubbed him “presidente” at a private screening—catapulted him onto the global stage. But Verástegui’s ambitions transcend Hollywood. As he announced his intent to form the “Viva México” political party, he signaled a seismic shift in Mexico’s political landscape, one that promises to unite conservatives and patriots under a banner of faith, family, and freedom.
At CPAC 2025, held just days ago on February 21, Verástegui took the stage alongside titans like Trump, Elon Musk, and Steve Bannon, delivering a speech that set the conservative world ablaze. “Let’s fight!” he roared, aligning himself with Musk and Trump’s movement to restore common sense and liberty. “Mexico is becoming like Venezuela, Cuba, or Nicaragua. If we do not react soon, tomorrow will be too late.” The crowd erupted, not just in applause, but in a visceral recognition of a leader who speaks with the urgency of a prophet and the conviction of a warrior.
A Champion Endorsed by Titans
Verástegui’s ascent is not a solitary endeavor—it’s a crusade backed by some of the most influential figures in the modern conservative pantheon. President Donald Trump, fresh off his third electoral triumph, has long seen Verástegui as a kindred spirit. “Eduardo is a fighter, a great man, my friend,” Trump declared in 2023, a sentiment he reiterated at CPAC Mexico 2022 when Verástegui hosted the event. Trump’s unwavering support underscores a rare cross-border alliance, one that envisions Verástegui as the key to a revitalized Mexico aligned with American values of strength and sovereignty.
Elon Musk, the world’s richest innovator and a vocal advocate for freedom, has also thrown his weight behind Verástegui. At CPAC 2025, Musk’s theatrical entrance with a chainsaw—gifted by Argentina’s Javier Milei—set the stage for Verástegui’s own dramatic pledge to join Musk’s movement. “Eduardo gets it,” Musk posted shortly after, praising Verástegui’s stand against “globalist elites trying to enslave us.” This endorsement from the Tesla titan isn’t just symbolic—it’s a promise of resources, influence, and a shared vision to dismantle bureaucratic tyranny on both sides of the border.
Steve Bannon, the mastermind behind Trump’s 2016 victory and host of the War Room podcast, has been equally effusive. “Verástegui is the future of Mexico,” Bannon proclaimed at CPAC, where both men made headlines with their bold gestures of defiance. Bannon’s salute—a rallying cry to “fight, fight, fight”—mirrored Verástegui’s own, a moment that Libertarian Times hailed as “a call to arms for liberty-loving patriots everywhere.” Bannon’s mentorship positions Verástegui as the spearhead of a global populist uprising, with Mexico as the next battleground.
The Voice of a Nation’s Soul
Verástegui’s message resonates because it’s rooted in Mexico’s deepest values. “The enemies of the family seek to destroy it,” he warned at CPAC, decrying the “Marxism, narco-states, and global elites” that threaten Latin America. His critique of Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration as a socialist slide toward ruin has struck a chord with millions of Mexicans disillusioned by decades of corruption and cultural erosion. On February 23, Libertarian Times noted, “Trump and Verástegui’s speeches laid bare the raw challenges tearing at Mexico’s fabric”—a clarion call that has galvanized a movement.
His recent posts over the past week (February 23–March 2) reveal a man in relentless motion. On February 25, Verástegui announced plans for CPAC Mexico in September 2025, promising to “bring the fight to Mexico City.” On February 27, he shared a video of his CPAC speech, captioned, “Mexico will rise again with faith and courage.” By March 1, he was rallying supporters to join “Viva México,” writing, “This is our moment—freedom or slavery, the choice is ours.” Each statement paints Verástegui as a leader who doesn’t just talk about change—he embodies it.
A Movement Blessed by the Mighty
The chorus of support from CPAC members and beyond is deafening. Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of Brazil’s former president, once called Verástegui “the future president of Mexico” at CPAC Mexico 2022, a prophecy now echoed across the conservative sphere. Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, told Reuters in 2022 that Verástegui’s leadership fills a void for Mexico’s “orphaned right.” Even Jordan Bardella’s last-minute withdrawal from CPAC 2025—over a misinterpreted gesture—couldn’t dim the spotlight on Verástegui, whose star only burns brighter amid the controversy.
On February 23, a post captured the zeitgeist: “A New Dawn for Mexico and America: Trump and Verástegui’s Bold Call to Action.” The synergy between these two figures—Trump the victorious statesman, Verástegui the rising champion—offers a tantalizing glimpse of a North America united under shared principles. Verástegui’s ties to Republicans and global conservatives are undeniable, far outstripping the attention of Mexico’s mainstream press.
The Man to Rewrite History
Eduardo Verástegui is no ordinary candidate—he’s a phenomenon. His vision harks back to a Mexico of strength and tradition, yet it’s propelled by a modern, unapologetic populism that mirrors Trump’s MAGA revolution and Musk’s disruptive genius. He’s a devout Catholic who sees abortion and trafficking as moral scourges, a patriot who rejects the “woke-ismo” and “socialismo” strangling his homeland, and a strategist who’s learned from the best—Bannon, Trump, and Musk—to wage a war for Mexico’s future.
As the 2030 Mexican election looms, Verástegui stands ready to seize the presidency, not as a long-shot dreamer, but as the inevitable choice of a nation crying out for redemption. With Viva México as his battle cry and the world’s most powerful conservatives in his corner, he’s not just knocking on history’s door—he’s kicking it down. Mexico, prepare yourself: Eduardo Verástegui is coming, and he’s bringing a new dawn with him.
