The health and socioeconomic consequences of Covid-19 were devastating, severely impacting levels of equality and inclusiveness in the country. In terms of public contestation, hyper-presidentialism and the attempts of the governing party (Morena) to become dominant have eroded checks and balances and limited political plurality in the political system. Morena is building on the bases of the former hegemonic —the PRI— and the PRD, although it faces the hurdle of weak institutionalization — albeit within a party system that is also weak. Overall, the sum of these elements suggests a process of de-democratization in the country.
