It is a humorous political critique, aimed squarely at the then ruling party Partido Revolucionario Institucional ( PRI ) and its paramilitary caciques, at a time when freedom of speech in politics was highly restricted.

The following is an example of a Primary Rate ( PRI ) ISDN call showing the Q. 921 / LAPD and the Q. 931 / Network message intermixed ( i. e. exactly what was exchanged on the D-channel ).

It was in 1997, that PRI lost its absolute majority at the Congress of the Union, and in 2000 the first non-PRI president was elected since 1929.

The presidential elections held in 1988 marked a watershed in Mexican politics, as they were the first serious threat to the party in power by an opposition candidate, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, a defector from the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party ( PRI ) and son of former President Lazaro Cardenas, who was nominated by a broad coalition of leftist parties.

Although the opposition campaign was hurt by the desire of the Mexican electorate for stability, following the assassination of Luis Donaldo Colosio, the intended PRI candidate, and the recent outbreak of hostilities in the state of Chiapas, Zedillo's share of the vote was the lowest official percentage for any PRI presidential candidate up to that time.

Fox was elected President of Mexico in the 2000 presidential election, a historically significant election that made him the first president elected from an opposition party since Francisco I. Madero in 1910 and the first one in 71 years to defeat, with 42 percent of the vote, the then-dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party ( PRI ).

* Vicente Fox was elected President of Mexico in the 2000 presidential election, making him the first president elected from an opposition party in 71 years, defeating the then-dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party ( PRI ).

As World War II was ending, the Christian Democrats started organizing post-Fascist Italy in coalition with all the other mainstream parties, including the Italian Communist Party ( PCI ), the Italian Socialist Party ( PSI ), the Italian Liberal Party ( PLI ), the Italian Republican Party ( PRI ), the Action Party ( Pd ' A ) and the Labour Democratic Party ( PDL ).

From 1946 until 1994 the DC was the largest party in Parliament, governing in successive coalitions with the support of the Italian Democratic Socialist Party ( PSDI ), the PLI, the PRI and, after 1963, the PSI.

In 1981 Giovanni Spadolini of the PRI was the first non-Christian Democrat to lead a government since 1944, at the head of a coalition comprising the DC, the PSI, the PSDI, the PRI and the PLI, the so-called Pentapartito.

He was the PRI presidential candidate in 1988, and was elected on July 6, 1988.

Asked for comment on De la Madrid's statements, Senator Manuel Bartlett, who was the president of the Federal Electoral Commission ( Comisión Federal Electoral ) during the de la Madrid administration, declared Salinas won the election albeit with the smallest margin of any PRI candidate before him.

This may have been a response to three important events that had shaken investor confidence in the stability of the country: the aforementioned Zapatista uprising, the assassination of PRI presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio, and the assassination of José Francisco Ruiz Massieu, Salinas ' former brother-in-law who was also the Secretary General of the PRI, and whose murder was never solved during Salinas ' presidency, even when Mario Ruiz Massieu ( Francisco's brother ) was the attorney general in charge of the investigation.

In January, 1999, after a four year trial, Salinas's older brother Raúl Salinas de Gortari was convicted of ordering the murder of the PRI official ( and Salinas brother-in-law ) Jose Francisco Ruiz Massieu and sentenced to 50 years in prison.

In North America PRI service is delivered on one or more T1 carriers ( often referred to as 23B + D ) of 1544 kbit / s ( 24 channels ).

PRI uses out of band signaling which provides the 23 B channels with clear 64 kb for voice and data and one 64 kb ' D ' channel for signaling and messaging.

The Primary Rate Interface ( PRI ) consists of 23 64-kbit / s B-channels and one 64-kbit / s D-channel using a T1 line, often referred to as " 23B + D ", ( North American and Japanese standard ) or 30 B-channels and one D-channel using an E1 line ( Europe / rest of world ).

The PRI is a member of the Socialist International, as is the rival Party of the Democratic Revolution ( PRD ), making Mexico one of the few nations with two major, competing parties part of the same international grouping.

Since that year, the PRD has become one of the three major parties in Mexico, gaining working class support that was previously enjoyed by the PRI.

In 1994 after Colosio's assassination, Zedillo became one of the few PRI members eligible under Mexican law to take his place, since he had not occupied public office for some time.

PRI, along with NPR and American Public Media, is one of the largest program producers and distributors of public radio programming in the United States.

On May 1, 2008, PRI was the first major public media outlet to use digital cinema ; and one of the first mass media companies overall.

The alliance broke down one year into Fox's administration and, in the July 2003 mid-term elections and various other local elections held since 2000 ( in particular, the governatorial races in the important states of México and Nuevo León ), the PVEM has allied itself more frequently with the Institutional Revolutionary Party ( PRI ).

Despite some isolated incidents of irregularities and problems, such as one in the southern state of Campeche which involved the European Union electoral observer Rocco Buttiglione and which could have created problems for President Ernesto Zedillo had the PRI candidate won, there was little evidence that those incidents were centrally coordinated ( as opposed to led by local PRI officials ) and critics concluded that the irregularities that occurred did not alter the outcome of the presidential vote, which was more definitive than expected.

The reciprocal of PRF ( or PRR ) is called the Pulse Repetition Time ( PRT ), Pulse Repetition Interval ( PRI ), or Inter-Pulse Period ( IPP ), which is the elapsed time from the beginning of one pulse to the beginning of the next pulse.

Cárdenas led a demonstration in Monterrey in which he called for unification of the various labor organizations into one national body associated with the PRI, then named the Partido Revolucionario Mexicano.

In 1936 he was one of the original founders, along with Vicente Lombardo Toledano, of the Confederation of Mexican Workers ( CTM ), the national labor federation most closely associated with the ruling party, the Institutional Revolutionary Party ( PRI ).

The PRI also provided CTM leaders with positions at all levels of government and reserved at least one Senatorial position for a CTM leader.

In 1946, the CTM joined in forming the new PRI, becoming one of its constituent parts.

For many years it was one of the essential pillars of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional ( the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI ), which ruled Mexico for more than seventy years.

In 1946 the CTM joined in forming the newly formed PRI, the successor party of the PRM, becoming once again one of its constituent parts.

He was considered one of the leaders of the old guard wing of the Institutional Revolutionary Party ( PRI ) He began as chief of the Delegación del Sector Popular at district, state and national convenctions of the PRI, then was a delegate for the party for the states of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche and Quintana Roo.

He ran for governor in 1986 and lost against the PRI candidate, Fernando Baeza Meléndez, in one of the most controversial elections in the state's recent history.

SJVR operates the southern section of the line from Oxalis to Fresno and was at one time owned by Port Railroads, Inc. ( PRI ; also a Kyle subsidiary ) and operated by the SJVR.

Currently, even though the PRI is the third political force in the Congress of the Union, in terms of number of seats, it is still the first political force in terms of the number of states governed by it.

In the concurrent elections, the PRI came within 11 seats of losing the majority of Chamber of Deputies, and opposition parties captured 4 of the 64 Senate seats-the first time that the PRI had failed to hold every seat in the Senate.

* 1989: Baja California elects Ernesto Ruffo Appel the first non PRI governor since 1929.

He rapidly became a popular figure, and became the first opposing candidate to fill the Zócalo with sympathizers and to seriously threaten the PRI which had won all presidential elections since its inception in 1929.

Although at first simply a response to the violent repression of fights between rival porros ( gangs ), the student movement quickly grew to include large segments of the student body who held general dissatisfaction with the regime of the PRI.

The first four decades of government of the PRI are dubbed the " Mexican Miracle ", a period of economic growth through substitution of imports and low inflation.

That same year, the PRI lost its first state government with the election of Ernesto Ruffo Appel as governor of Baja California.

The 1994 economic crisis in Mexico caused the PRI to lose its absolute majority in both chambers of the federal congress for the first time in 1997.

Prior to the 2000 general elections, the PRI held its first primaries to elect the party's presidential candidate.

It was to be the first Presidential electoral defeat of the PRI.

It was the first time in 59 years, from the creation of PRI to that point ( 1929 – 1988 ), that the winning of the presidency by that party was in doubt, and the citizens of Mexico realized that PRI could lose.

Alemán ran for President in 1946 as candidate of the PRI, and was the winner of the elections held on July 7 of that year, defeating former foreign minister Ezequiel Padilla to become the first non-military candidate to win the presidency of Mexico.

its first president was Jorge González Torres ( a public official and former member of the PRI ), who was succeeded by his son, Jorge Emilio González Martínez ( currently a senator and nicknamed El Niño Verde, or " The Green Boy ").
