Through two chronicles included in Dias de guardar by Carlos Monsiváis, a book published in the 70s in Mexico, this article analyses the coercive system that rules the Mexican regime, dominated for a long time by one single party: the PRI, i.e. the institutionalized expression of the social Revolution that occurred at the beginning of the XXth Century. These critical texts put in evidence the way Mexican opinion was actually controlled in a very rigid way.
