From "Opening Mexico: The Making of a Democracy" (ISBN 0374226687):

"...there was no Nelson Mandela, no single leader to personify and guide the struggle. Nor was there a single democratic movement, but rather a multitude of initiatives from individuals and groups across the society and the country, which gradually converged as more and more Mexicans became convinced of the need to end the PRI's despotic rule."

However there are three events that would be considered the most important of such change:

The killing in 1994 of the presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio which many Mexicans think was planned by Carlos Salinas, president of Mexico at the time.

The election in 1994 of Ernesto Zedillo as president of Mexico. He was not part of the hard-liner faction in the PRI and he was personal friend to Luis Donaldo Colosio. Many think he undermined and 'destroyed' the PRI from within because he learned who killed Colosio.

The candidature of Vicente Fox for the 2000 presidential elections. Many considered him as a charismatic leader.
