Yup, PRI started as left, enjoyed seven decades of de facto dictatorship, during which it moved to center-right, then lost two times in a row to PAN, which is right-center. PAN lost to MORENA, in great part because PRI formed an under-the-table alliance with them. MORENA says its left, but in reality it swings all over the place.
Now PRI and PAN have become shells of their former selves, and MORENA had made sure to change the electoral and legal systems so it will be very hard for them to lose. Its founder and former president had long dreamed for a de facto dictatorship return. He’s getting his son ready to take over in the next presidential election.
Mexican (and Latin American) politics are always such a mess: presidents have too much power, and many disregard the law with impunity. I’m sorry to see USA is experiencing the same, Trump should be in jail for encouraging the Capitol riots.
