How has mexico become more democratic

The combined movements from the people and the administration translated into the integration of democratic practices in the government itself. A multi-party system was formed as a result of a highly publicized scandal that followed the controversial presidential election of Carlos Salinas de Gortari in 1988. Following the election, the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) essentially split off from the PRI, while the conservative National Action Party (PAN) greatly expanded its constituency. These events resulted in the formation of the multi-party system that currently exists in Mexico. Furthering this democratic trend was President Ernesto Zedillo’s push to pass the 1996 Federal Electoral Law, which instituted independent electoral institutions. This law created autonomy for the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) and granted public financing to political parties in order to level the domestic political playing field. Furthering this movement towards democracy, in the 1997 legislative elections, the PRI lost its absolute majority in the Chamber of Deputies for the first time in its history. Hope emerged for an authentic democracy in a nation normally overrun by corruption.
