This purpose has led him to attempt the restoration of the overpowerful presidency characteristic of the PRI regime. This policie have had a profoundly divisive effect on mexican society. The question remaining is whether AMLO’s next step will be the building of a hegemonic party along the lines of the PRI. This project would almost certainly meet with the determiend oposition of the Mexican electorate that has proven to be aware of the importance of political alternatives.

Desde su ascenso al poder en 2018, el presidente mexicano Andrés Manuel López Obrador, AMLO, lanzó una amplia revisión de todas las reformas que introdujeron cinco de sus predecesores. Este objetivo lo ha conducido a intentar la restauración de la muy poderosa presidencia del régimen de partido hegemónico. Esta política ha tenido un impacto profundamente divisivo en la sociedad mexicana. La pregunta que se plantea es si acaso el siguiente paso del presidente López Obrador es la construcción de un partido hegemónico similar al PRI. Este proyecto se toparía casi seguramente con la determinada oposición del electorado mexicano, que ha mostrado consciente de la importancia de alternativas políticas. Este artículo explora la posibilidad de que se produzca este desarrollo a la luz de las sucesivas reformas electorales que fueron el corazón de la democratización mexicana.
