The PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party)

The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) is a major political party in Mexico, founded in 1929. It held uninterrupted power for over 70 years, shaping the country's political landscape. The PRI is known for its role in promoting state-led economic policies, social programs, and a centralized government. During its dominance, the party was associated with authoritarian practices, but it also implemented significant reforms. In the 2000s, the PRI lost the presidency for the first time, marking a shift towards a multiparty system. Despite challenges, the PRI remains influential in Mexican politics today.
