What recent events in Mexico have contributed to making the country democratic?
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.

What do the colors and eagle represent on the Mexican flag?
The Mexican Coat of Arms, which also appears on the Mexican national flag, illustrates the fulfillment of a prophesy describing where the Aztec people would found their first city. It shows an eagle perched on a cactus with a serpent in its mouth.
Before 1325 AD, the Aztec (or Mexicapeople, as they called themselves) were a nomadic tribe who wandered throughout the land, looking for a place to settle and build their capital. Their state religion awaited the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy: that the wandering tribe would find the destined site for a great city whose location would be signaled by an eagle eating a snake while perched atop a cactus.
The Aztecs saw this vision on what was then a small swampy island in the middle of lake Texcoco, after which they founded their capital city, on March 13, 1325. Not deterred by the unfavourable terrain, they set about building their city, using the chinampa system (misnamed as "floating gardens") for agriculture and to dry and expand the island. That city was Mexico-Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City (19° 25' 57.85'' N, 99° 07' 59.71'' W).
