The highest juridical compilation in our country, the Political Constitution of Mexico, establishes that the Branches of Government are divided into the Executive (President of Mexico), Legislative (Chamber of Deputies and Senate) and Judicial (Supreme Court of Justice and the Courts).

Mexico is immersed in a historic process of transformation; the country is living a well-established and plural democracy, in which multiple institutions prevail which act in line with the Rule of Law. This process of change has furthered the building of agreements through dialogue among the different political forces. Thus, conclusive reforms have been passed in benefit of all Mexicans.

Mexico has also made important efforts to increase its productivity and be more competitive on the international scenario. Its system of government has made it easier to endorse laws and mechanisms that guarantee the transparency and security of investments, as well as of industrial and private property.

On June 12, 2003, Mexico approved the Federal Law on Transparency and Access to Public Government Information (IFAI) which, as part of the process of reform of the State has as its purpose to strengthen the democratization of the country, as well as to establish a relationship based on the government?s accountability to society.
