QUINTO LORENZO, Erika Lorena; MORALES TOSTADO, María del Carmen  e  ABUNDES OCHOA, Andrés Emilio. The Cost of Representativity of Political Parties in Mexico. Revista Col. San Luis [online]. 2022, vol.12, n.23, 00011.  Epub 27-Maio-2024. ISSN 2007-8846.  https://doi.org/10.21696/rcsl122320221388.

The goal of this paper is to analyze the excessive public finance given to political parties in Mexico in relation to citizen representation in electoral journeys. A documentary and quantitative analysis around Mexican Political Parties budget (state financed) was used; a comparative study between Mexico, Argentina and Brazil on the same topic is included. We establish that the cost of public finance of Mexican Political Parties is disproportionate if compared to citizens representation. Mexico is the country in Latin America that provides the most finance (money) to these institutions. The lack of equilibrium between representation and parties spending requires to implement strategies that will bring this relationship up to harmony. Comparing this situation with other Latin American countries allow us to see the problematic character existing in Mexico regarding excessive public finance to Political Parties. In conclusion, the irresponsible attitude of Mexican Political Parties seeks more public finance for themselves and advances a crisis in citizen representativity.
