Overview
- In an interview for PRI: Crónica del fin, Fox acknowledges he helped pave the way for Enrique Peña Nieto’s win, saying, “I had to do with that… unfortunately, for worse.”
- The series premiered with a free first episode on Las Estrellas on September 22, and access to all five episodes requires a ViX Premium subscription.
- Testimonies include former presidents Enrique Peña Nieto, Carlos Salinas de Gortari and Vicente Fox, along with figures such as Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, Marcelo Ebrard, Elba Esther Gordillo, Manlio Fabio Beltrones and Alejandro “Alito” Moreno.
- Commentators argue the narrative elevates Salinas’s voice and leaves out pivotal moments, while critics also fault the project for not addressing Televisa’s influence and for sidestepping long-disputed issues like the 1988 election.
- Using previously unseen archives and exclusive interviews, the documentary traces roughly half a century of PRI history and situates its decline in democratization demands, economic crises and electoral reforms, highlighting the 2000 Fox victory as a turning point.
