    ELECTION 2018 RESULTS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Andrés Manuel López Obrador is the projected 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, at least 3 governorships, first minority in the Federal Congress, among other local posts. This electoral process will result in a substantial change in the national political order. CONSIDERATIONS ESTIMATED PERCENTAGES With a historical participation rate (63% approx.), Mexico demonstrates once again the maturity of its Projected winner electoral democracy. AMLO will have broad citizen support, however it will face a scenario in which half of the population voted for another option, which implies a significant challenge. The post-electoral declarations of José Antonio Meade, Ricardo Anaya and Jaime Rodríguez; the messages of support from various political personalities and from the Business Coordinating Council; as well as the Andrés Manuel López Obrador congratulations of leaders of other nations, including Donald Trump; are elements that provide certainty to the transition period when projecting a message of stability. President Enrique Peña Nieto acknowledged the results announced by the INE and committed to carry out 53-53.8% an efficient and orderly transition process. The traditional parties (PRI, PAN and PRD) will be forced to enter a period of self-criticism and reflection. Initially, markets show a favorable reaction. After the press conferences of José Antonio Meade, Ricardo 22.1-22.8% Anaya and Jaime Rodríguez Calderón the dollar is quoting at 19.86 pesos.

    Mexican Strategic Landscape Monthly report JUNE 2021 REGIONS OF MÉXICO NORTHWESTERN NORTHEASTERN WESTERN-BAJÍO CENTRAL SOUTHERN YUCATÁN PENINSULA The Mexican Strategic Landscape Report is a monthly publication of the Institute for Strategy and Development Research, a think tank dedicated to the analysis and the dissemination of information in key topics which address Mexico's problems and structural challenges. This document provides insights from the six different regions that make up the country. It helps readers and decision makers comprehend the particularities and complexities of each one concerning four main subjects: NATURAL POWER AND SECURITY DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES AUTHORITIES OVERVIEW 1. Drug trafficking interference in Michoacán raises tension. On different occasions, the Governor of Michoacán Silvano Aureoles has publicly denounced the interference organized crime has had in the elections, where he mentions that having crime’s support was decisive for the triumph of Morena Party in the entity. Although the President of Mexico asked him for evidence about the accusation, the governor was not received at the national palace. At least 9 different drug trafficking groups operate in Michoacan, including: CJNG, La Nueva Familia Michoacana, Caballeros Templarios and Cartel de los Correa. In addition to this, several former governors have been pointed out for alleged links with organized crime. Despite the seriousness of the accusations made by the current Governor, it is not known if there is an ongoing investigation of these events. 2. International organizations concerned about electoral violence in México. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet condemned the electoral violence that claimed the lives of more than 90 candidates, the gender-based violence that women have suffered, and attacks that opposition candidates have received which generated a tense political environment.

De acuerdo con la funcionaria electoral encargada de promover la participación política y empoderamiento de las mujeres , es lamentable que a la fecha persista un fuerte rechazo de manera global para que el sector femenino pueda ingresar en la toma de decisiones, y esto se complica aún más, si se trata del rubro indígena donde también hay usos y costumbres, la situación requiere de una doble labor. "Al igual que en otras entidades, en el estado hay comunidades donde los hombres son los encargados de la vida política, por ello la importancia de que se diera una cuota a través de la paridad de género, la cual en algunas regiones principalmente en las originarias, no se considera adecuado que deba ser aterrizada al sector femenino".

  • The Resilience of Mexico's
    Mexico’s PRI: The Resilience of an Authoritarian Successor Party and Its Consequences for Democracy Gustavo A. Flores-Macías Forthcoming in James Loxton and Scott Mainwaring (eds.) Life after Dictatorship: Authoritarian Successor Parties Worldwide, New York: Cambridge University Press. Between 1929 and 2000, Mexico was an authoritarian regime. During this time, elections were held regularly, but because of fraud, coercion, and the massive abuse of state resources, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) won virtually every election. By 2000, however, the regime came to an end when the PRI lost the presidency. Mexico became a democracy, and the PRI made the transition from authoritarian ruling party to authoritarian successor party. Yet the PRI did not disappear. It continued to be the largest party in Congress and in the states, and it was voted back into the presidency in 2012. This electoral performance has made the PRI one of the world’s most resilient authoritarian successor parties. What explains its resilience? I argue that three main factors explain the PRI’s resilience in the aftermath of the transition: 1) the PRI’s control over government resources at the subnational level, 2) the post-2000 democratic governments’ failure to dismantle key institutions inherited from the authoritarian regime, and 3) voters’ dissatisfaction with the mediocre performance of the PRI’s competitors. I also suggest that the PRI's resilience has been harmful in various ways, including by propping up pockets of subnational authoritarianism, perpetuating corrupt practices, and undermining freedom of the press and human rights. 1 Between 1929 and 2000, Mexico was an authoritarian regime.1 During this time, elections were held regularly, but because of fraud, coercion, and the massive abuse of state resources, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) won virtually every election.

López Obrador’s standing in the polls is not surprising, because voters considered him the candidate most likely to stand up to US President Donald Trump’s anti-Mexico policies (SourceMex, Feb. 22, 2017). López Obrador has also seized on the growing resentment against the governing party, the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), because of a string of corruption scandals involving the PRI (SourceMex, April 29, 2015, and April 19, 2017) and the party’s inability to curb seemingly out-of- control violence and insecurity (SourceMex, Dec.

Cuauhtémoc, [email protected] resumen Agosto 2020 Los recientes eventos del caso Lozoya generaron una alza en el incremento de aprobación del Presidente Andrés Manúel López Obrador y dicho incremento impacto directamente en la calificación de los gobernadores afines al presidente de México. Los gobernadores de MORENA y PES fueron los únicos que tuvieron un incremento en su promedio general de aprobación, siendo de +1.5%. El resto de gobernadores sufrieron descenso en su promedio general de aprobación. Los gobernadores del PRI perdieron -1.1% de aprobación, los del PAN -3.7% y los de MC+PRD e Independiente perdieron -10.3%. Considerando que la aprobación promedio de los gobernadores sigue en constante descenso pasando de 36.2% del mes anterior a 34.0% (-2.2%) se ratifica el impacto del presidente hacia sus gobernadores. A pesar del coronavirus, los estados enfatizan sus esfuerzos a el constante seguimiento de las actividades ordinarias de gobernabilidad.
