CASTRO, Pedro. Carlos A. Madrazo and the Impossible Reforme of the PRI. Polis [online]. 2007, vol.3, n.1, pp.161-189. ISSN 2594-0686.

This essay deals about the presidency of Carlos A. Madrazo in the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) from December 17, 1964 to November 17, 1965, under the Gustavo Díaz Ordaz administration. We point to his political background, the keys of the partisan reform and the plausible reasons of his resignation as president of the PRI. His failure to change the partisan structure evidenced the unsurpassable inertias coming from the sector leaders, governors and local bosses, under the direction of Díaz Ordaz. When he resigned, his almost one-year project collapsed, and his successors worked hard to destroy his legacy.
