It is from that moment, and largely due to the [[Cold War]], that the PRI begins to change its focus, from being a left party that cared about the population, to a party more drawn to the right and with the objective of repressing the growing social movements, turning Mexico into a kind of dictatorship (although not officially so) until the end of the [[Cold War]]. | It is from that moment, and largely due to the [[Cold War]], that the PRI begins to change its focus, from being a left party that cared about the population, to a party more drawn to the right and with the objective of repressing the growing social movements, turning Mexico into a kind of dictatorship (although not officially so) until the end of the [[Cold War]]. | ||
Starting in the late 1980s, the PRI experienced a great decline in popularity as a result of all the things that had happened in previous years, which ended up triggering that, in 2000, they lost the presidential elections against Vicente Fox of the National Action Party (Partido Accion Nacional: PAN), ending the 70-year uninterrupted cycle of the PRI government. In 2006 they again lost the elections against Felipe Calderón, also from the PAN, but in 2012 they again won the presidency with Enrique Peña Nieto, but in the last elections, those of 2018, they lost against Andrés Manuel Lopéz Obrador and his party National Regeneration Movement (Movimiento Regeneración Nacional: Morena). | Starting in the late 1980s, the PRI experienced a great decline in popularity as a result of all the things that had happened in previous years, which ended up triggering that, in 2000, they lost the presidential elections against Vicente Fox of the National Action Party (Partido Accion Nacional: PAN), ending the 70-year uninterrupted cycle of the PRI government.

During its history, the PRI has committed many acts of villainy, this can be seen in that, for example, it governed the country uninterruptedly for 70 years, apart from the fact that, until 1976, all the members of the Senate were from the PRI, and until 1989 All the governors of the states were members of the PRI. The reason why the PRI achieved all that control is mainly because of the harsh political repression they exercised, apart from multiple electoral fraud that facilitated their permanence in power. The most infamous instance was in 1988, when PRI-controlled media broadcasted fake polls to suppress opposing voters. When it was discovered that these polls were fake, the plug was pulled on the polling computer and PRI supporters went directly to the polls to intimidate their opposition. | During its history, the PRI has committed many acts of villainy, this can be seen in that, for example, it governed the country uninterruptedly for 70 years, apart from the fact that, until 1976, all the members of the Senate were from the PRI, and until 1989 All the governors of the states were members of the PRI.
