A Mexican milestone
Article Abstract:
The initiative taken by seven Mexican non-governmental organizations in 1994 to check unfair practices in presidential elections has become a force to reckon with. The national coalition, Civic Alliance, drew support from hundreds of other organizations and social movements. This marked the beginning of the end of the decades-old authoritarian regime. Though originally meant to be a temporary body, it was allowed to continue its vigilance of the actions of the elected officials.
