The 3rd of july elections in 2011. The absence of political speech

Abstract

The current paper analyzes the relationship between lack of political discourse by certain parties and results in state and local elections in the states of Nayarit, Coahuila, Mexico and Hidalgo in 2011. The weakness of the internal strategies, the lack of political strength of opposition candidates and the stagnation of the discourse generated moments of opportunity for the PRI as reflected in votes. However the reflections from these results are not directly assigned PRI presidential victory in 2012, they are just one analysis point on the path political forces.
