	Institutional Revolutionary Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The party was the result of Plutarco Elías Calles's efforts to stop the violent struggle for power between the victorious factions of the Mexican Revolution, and guarantee the peaceful if not democratic transmission of power for members of the party.
		The party had acquired a reputation for dishonesty, and while this was admitted (to a degree) by some of its affiliates, its supporters maintained that the role of the party was crucial in the modernization and stabilization of Mexico.
		The party was described by some scholars as a "state party", a term which captures both the non-competitive history and character of the party itself, and the inextricable connection between the party and the Mexican state for much of the 20th century.

	Mexico - Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI)
		The PRI was founded by Calles in 1929 as the National Revolutionary Party (Partido Nacional Revolucionario--PNR), a loose confederation of local political bosses and military strongmen grouped together with labor unions, peasant organizations, and regional political parties.
		Calles, operating through the party organization, was able to undermine much of the strength of peasant and labor organizations that affiliated with the party and to weaken the regional military commanders who had operated with great autonomy throughout the 1920s.
		Although the PRI party bosses remained loyal to Salinas, allowing the party to win the July 1988 presidential election, the 1988 vote was a major psychological blow to the ruling party.

		Fox's election as the first president from the opposition since the Institutional Revolutionary Party was founded in 1929 signals the end of a peculiar style of democracy in which the ruling party and the government were synonymous.
		Fox's party was a major supporter of the former government's push for the North American Free Trade Agreement and it is considered Mexico's most pro-business party, but it has never managed the economy at the national level.
		In states and localities where opposition parties have unseated the Institutional Revolutionary Party --- such as Mexico City, where city hall was captured by the leftist Democratic Revolutionary Party in 1997 -- the new political leaders often arrived in their offices to find outgoing bureaucrats had taken even the furniture with them.

		TIJUANA —; The Institutional Revolutionary Party, which ruled Mexico for most of the 20th century, was battling to retake Tijuana and cling to the governorship of Oaxaca as voters cast ballots Sunday in state and local elections that could shape the 2006 presidential race.
		With Fox's party losing strength nationwide, the two races were a test of the resurgent PRI's ability to shore up its rural heartland base, which encompasses thousands of poor, indigenous communities in Oaxaca, and its attempts to erode the PAN's urban strongholds in northern Mexico.
		Madrazo's opponents in the party backed Gabino Cue, believing that an upset of the PRI in a state it had never lost would derail the party leader's drive for the presidential nomination.
