Among the changes is a controversial decision to appoint Arsenio Farell Cubillas a close ally of former president Carlos Salinas de Gortari to head the comptroller's office (Secretaria de la Controlaria Nacional de la Federacion y Administracion, Secodam). Farell replaced Norma Samaniego, who was in the midst of an investigation into the financial affairs of Raul Salinas de Gortari, the brother of ex-president Salinas. Raul Salinas is accused of using high-level positions in government to illegally amass US$100 million in secret bank accounts in Switzerland and other countries in Europe and the Americas. Some of the allegations also tie Raul Salinas to prominent Mexican narcotraffickers (see SourceMex, 12/06/95). The new charges of corruption against Raul Salinas come on top of previous allegations that the former president's brother masterminded the assassination of Jose Francisco Ruiz Massieu, a high-level official of the governing Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in October 1994.

How the 1996 Electoral Reform Triggered the Demise of the PRI's Dominant-Party Regime by SebastiánGarrido de Sierra Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Barbara Geddes, Chair This research offers a new explanation of the demise of the authoritarian dominant- party regime led by the PRI in Mexico from 1929 to 2000. I claim that this was largely triggered by the electoral reform of 1996. The reform changed the structure of incentives for many PRI faction leaders at the federal and state level. This started the rapid erosion of the PRI's elite unity, leading to the migration of experienced cadres and the valuable clientelistic machines under their control to other parties. This, in turn, reduced the clientelistic advantage that the PRI had enjoyed for decades, leading to its eventual defeat in the 2000 presidential election.

Andrés Manuel López Obrador Results
ELECTION 2018 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Andrés Manuel López Obrador is the virtual winner of the Presidential election. This situation would respond to a candidate that was able to capitalize on the high social discontent and an 18 year political effort. The AMLO effect is reflected at the national level, since the Coalition that he leads will obtain different strategic positions, such as the Head of Government of Mexico City, 4 governorships, majority in the Federal Congress, majority in more than 15 local congresses, among other local posts. This electoral process will result in a substantial change in the national political order.

Documentos De Trabajo En Ciencia Política
Documentos de Trabajo en Ciencia Política WORKING PAPERS ON POLITICAL SCIENCE Making sound out of fury: Using vetoes for posturing in Chile and in Mexico By Eric Magar, ITAM WPPS2002-04 Departamento Académico de Ciencia Política Abstract: Two case histories of vetoes as publicity stunts are developed. In Chile president Frei forced the opposition from the right to frustrate labor reform for a second time; this occurred just days before the 1999 presidential election. In Mexico the opposition (incl. the PAN) prepared a bacon-ridden bill for the PRI to veto, either by the Senate or by the executive. The PRI-controlled Senate froze the bill just weeks before the 2000 presidential election. Immediately upon presidential inauguration the new opposition (incl. the PRI) passed the bill in the Senate to force a veto by the new president from the PAN. This reversal of roles is hard to interpret otherwise than as publicity. Presidentialism is a pretty common form of separation of power. It empowers the legislative and the executive branches of government with a veto over policy change; this can result in policy immobilism. Most countries in the Americas and a few in other continents have presidential constitutions. Table 1 shows that immobilism is rather common among the separation of power cases listed, at least in the form of executive vetoes of policy passed in Congress. Cases such as democratic Mexico and classic Venezuela are the exception, with nil or near nil veto incidence; Brazil has recently averaged more than 70 vetoes a year, and there are cases spread along this range.
