25 Years On: Fox Reflects on Democratic Transition at Texas Tribune Festival

| Fox (2000–2006)

Speaking a quarter-century after his landmark 2000 election that ended 71 years of PRI single-party rule, former President Vicente Fox participates in a virtual interview at the Texas Tribune Festival. Fox reflects on his friendship with George W. Bush, the near-success of the 'whole enchilada' immigration framework (September 2001), and how the 9/11 attacks permanently shelved his most ambitious bilateral initiative. He highlights the Fox presidency as proof that Mexico's democratic consolidation was real, while expressing concern about security challenges under President Claudia Sheinbaum.
