PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional)

The Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) is a major political party in Mexico, founded in 1929. It historically held dominant control over Mexican politics for much of the 20th century, maintaining power through a combination of electoral influence, institutional control, and political networks. The PRI promoted stability and economic development but was also criticized for corruption, authoritarian practices, and limited political competition. Since the 2000s, Mexico has seen greater political plurality, but the PRI remains an influential force, shaping policies and political discourse in the country.
