 Social Democratic Party of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD – Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands) is one of the oldest political parties of Germany still in existence and also one of the oldest and largest in the world, celebrating its 140th anniversary in 2003.
As social democrats could be elected as list-free candidates while the party was outlawed, it had continued to be a growing force in the parliament, becoming the strongest party in 1912 (in imperial Germany, the parliamentary balance of forces had no influence on the formation of the cabinet).
Subsequently the Social Democratic Party and the newly founded Communist Party of Germany (which consisted mostly of SPD defectors) became bitter rivals, not least because of the legacy of the German Revolution.

 THE CHAMBER NEWS - PRESS RELEASES
Leaders of the National Action Party (PAN), who succeeded in helping to elect Vicente Fox Quesada President of Mexico in July 2000, are eager to build upon this victory, while leaders of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) hope to rebuild its political leadership.
In addition, the ruling party failed to maintain an absolute majority in the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Congress (the PRI holds 239 seats, the PRD 125 and the PAN 121; the remaining 15 are held by the PVEM and PT).
Since the election, four opposition parties have used their combined majority to elect a leader from the left-of-center PRD and take control of 32 of the 61 legislative committees in the Chamber of Deputies.

The Democratic Revolutionary Party (Partido Revolucionario Democrático--PRD), established in 1989, evolved from the National Democratic Front (Frente Democrático Nacional--FDN), under the leadership of Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas.
The party promotes economic nationalism, as opposed to the structural neoliberal changes that focus on increasing trade and foreign investment to boost the Mexican economy introduced by the PRI during President de la Madrid's administration.
Although the PRD holds a good part of the former communist and socialist parties' rank and file, the PRD is controlled by former PRI leaders.

By advancing at this moment, when the revolutionary movement is on the upgrade, an alleged special "task" of struggling for reforms, he is dragging the Party backwards and is playing into the hands of both "Economist" and liberal opportunism.
Thus, the German party is especially strengthening its positions and spreading its influence, thanks particularly to the untiring energy with which it is conducting its campaign of political exposure.
But the Social-Democratic worker, the revolutionary worker (and the number of such workers is growing) will indignantly reject all this talk about struggle for demands "promising palpable results", etc., because he will understand that this is only a variation of the old song about adding a kopek to the ruble.

Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party, which after 71 years of unbroken rule lost the presidency to Vicente Fox in 2000, is now making an effort to come back in the run up to the next presidential election, which is less than two years away.

The pious hypocrisy of the elite, represented by a "revolutionary" leadership which browbeat the country's natives, is precisely what a majority of Mexicans rejected in last year's historic election.
Hence the contradiction in Fox's position: whatever his own intentions, he is obliged to depend on a party whose differences with the PRI are largely cosmetic.
Should Fox decide to make a concerted effort to press Congress for a law recognising natives' rights, his strongest allies would be the left-wing Democratic Revolutionary Party, which is on the opposite end of the ideological spectrum.

Main parties have adopted internal rules of affirmative action, but when they pick candidates, they usually slate women to run for deputy positions or in locations where they have no chance of being elected.
