Finally, the PRI has changed in two fundamental ways since it last held power. I cannot vouch for Peña Nieto’s democratic convictions, but, generationally, he came of age in a democratic Mexico: he was barely two years old during the old system’s darkest moment, the student massacre of 1968; he was 28 in 1994, at the time of the country’s first semi-democratic election (which even the victor, Ernesto Zedillo, later acknowledged was free, but not fair); and he turned 34 in 2000.
最后，自上次执政以来革命制度党已经发生了两大根本变化。我无法担保佩纳·聂托的民主信仰，但总的来说他是和一个民主的墨西哥共同成长的：旧体制最黑暗的时刻，1968年学生大屠杀事件时他刚刚两岁；1994年墨西哥实现首次准民主竞选——虽然当时的胜利者埃内斯托·塞迪略后来声明这场选举确实自由但不算公平——他24岁；到了2000年时，他34岁了。
