Freedom House Mexico Country Report 2023
"Mexico has been an electoral democracy since 2000, and alternation in power between parties is routine at both the federal and state levels.

Violence perpetrated by organized criminals, corruption among government officials, human rights abuses by both state and nonstate actors, and rampant impunity are among the most visible of Mexico’s many governance challenges."
