While I don’t follow it too closely there seems to be significant changes happening in Mexico. As Llosa famously said:
In 1990, Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa famously described Mexico under the PRI as being “the perfect dictatorship”, stating: “I don’t believe that there has been in Latin America any case of a system of dictatorship which has so efficiently recruited the intellectual milieu, bribing it with great subtlety. The perfect dictatorship is not communism, nor the USSR, nor Fidel Castro; the perfect dictatorship is Mexico. Because it is a camouflaged dictatorship.” The phrase became popular in Mexico and around the world until the PRI fell from power in 2000.
Since the final losses of the long empowered PRI party, Mexico has seen a legalizing of abortion, a woman president and now an undoing of the lifetime powers of their supreme court. From The Guardian (UK).
