  1. Some sidenotes and added context: 10:10 This system was nicknamed as «Dictablanda» (a play on words that translates as «Soft dictatorship») or «Perfect dictatorship». It was posible because the government had a monopoly in everything. For example, you had PIPSA, or «Productora e Importadora de Papel, SA» («Paper producers and importers, PLC»), a state monopoly that would come at you with unppaid charges you or delay orders if you had a newspaper or magazine that had recently publish any criticism. 10:16 - 10:30 This part probably refers to concessions made after the 1986-89 period. In 1986 the center-right opposition PAN lost the gubernatorial election in Chihuahua state; but the fraud was so egregious (even to members of the ruling PRI party. Some PRI members even argued for a "patriotic fraud") that it is said to have led to the PAN winning the 1989 Baja California gubernatorial election. (It was the first time anyone other than the PRI had governed a state since the revolution; and it was a concession.) 12:41 - 12:48 This part most likely refers to the presidencies of Luis Echeverría (or LEA, 1970 - 1976), and José López Portillo (or JOLOPO, 1976 - 1982). (TBF, from 1940 to 1964 the single party rule (PRI) wasn't that bad, but from 1964 to 1985 was a disaster.) LEA really believed that the economy could (and should) be controlled from the presidential residence (there is an anecdote about how he ended up dismissing his economic secretary, Hugo Margain, because he had a bit of common sense) and JOLOPO really believed that he was within his rights to dictate the line to the media through advertising contracts as well as significantly increasing bureaucracy. 12:49 - 13:10 We saw these political and economic reforms from the presidency of Salinas (1988 - 1994, when NAFTA was signed) to the presidency of Fox (2000 - 2006), who was the first opposition president (from the PAN party). One thing you can recognize about the one-party regime (PRI) is that they had a smooth transition of power.
