PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party)

The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) is a political party in Mexico, founded in 1929. It held power for about 71 years, making it a dominant force in Mexican politics for much of the 20th century. The PRI is known for its role in promoting a mix of nationalism, state control of resources, and social programs. While it initially aimed to unify various revolutionary factions and stabilize the country, its long tenure faced criticism for corruption and authoritarian practices. Since losing the presidency in 2000, the PRI has faced challenges in regaining significant political influence in Mexico.
