Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Every six years, Mexico holds elections to choose its president. Although this is a democratic feature, closer inspection reveals that the PRI won every election from 1929 until 2000. The opposition's existence had little significance. To guarantee the successful election of the same party repeatedly, dirty politics were in play. Everyone who worked for the government was required to attend its party gatherings. The opposition political parties' actions were generally disregarded by the media, except for criticism. The PRI invested a significant amount of cash in the campaigns of its candidates. All these unfair practices are the reasons for Mexico's status as undemocratic.
The correct statement is although Mexico held elections and had opposition parties, it is not a democratic country.
