Mexico operates under a constitutional framework with executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Presidential elections occur every six years without possibility of re-election, ensuring regular transitions of power. The current administration took office following the 2024 elections.
Travelers rarely encounter political issues directly. Occasional protests occur in Mexico City and other cities, typically related to domestic political issues. These are generally peaceful, and tourist areas are not affected.
Security challenges related to organized crime exist in certain regions, which is why travel advisories recommend avoiding specific areas. However, the tourist destinations visited by most travelers maintain security and stability.
