MEXICO
Carlos Salinas de Gortari
PRI
Mexican President
1988 to 1994.
According to J. Ramón Gil-García at the Rockefeller Foundation:
Salinas was identified as an authoritarian president, even more so than his predecessors,
and sometimes he seemed to be against the democratic system.
Salinas took advantage of the unique features of the Mexican political system,
and used political pressure and selective incentives to influence congressmen and to control peasants’ leaders.
In 1995, after countless disgraces, Salinas is forced to leave Mexico. He
currently lives in Ireland.
