Mexican politics

Mexican politics is characterized by a multiparty system, with major parties including the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), National Action Party (PAN), and the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA). The president is elected for a six-year term and holds significant power. Recent years have seen increased focus on issues like corruption, drug violence, and social inequality. Elections are held every six years, and while the political landscape is competitive, challenges remain, including political polarization and issues related to governance. Civil society and independent organizations play crucial roles in promoting accountability and democracy in the country.
