Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) won all the elections from 1930 to 2000 using unfair means. Even though the opposition participated in the election, they never won. PRI used many dirty tricks to win the election. Civil servants were forced to attend PRI party meetings. State school teachers advised and sometimes forced parents to vote in favour of PRI. The media constantly criticised the opposition but ignored their reasonable efforts. When PRI came to power, the party spent a lot of money preparing for elections and campaigning for candidates. The party tried to disrupt the election process. Polling stations were moved from one location to another without prior notice.
The correct statement would be the PRI used unfair means to contest elections that allowed them to stay in power for 70 years in Mexico.
