| Sumario: | Since coming to power in 2018, Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) launched a broad revision of all reforms introduced by five of his predecessors. 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. This article explores the possibility of such a development in light of the successive electoral reforms that were at the heart of Mexico’s democratization. |
