Abstract

Although the beginnings of the democratic reform of the Mexican State are in the decade of the eighties, it is in 2000 when the new institutions bear fruit by facilitating alternation at the federal level. The small advances had allowed greater cleanliness in the electoral processes as well as the recognition of the triumphs of the opposition in the municipalities, states and local and federal congresses, without reaching the summit of national power, the Presidency of the Republic.

The triumph of one of the oppositions - the PAN with its standard bearer Vicente Fox at the head - also supported by some sectors of the left and by the useful vote of citizens, whose electoral tendency is not precisely that of conservatism, made possible the electoral debacle of the once invincible Institutional Revolutionary Party. In said federal election, the PAN wins the presidency with 42.7% of the votes, although the percentage decreases in the legislative representation by about 4%, noting a divided vote in favor of the transition in the Government of the Republic and the equal debate in Congress.
