The Partido Revolucionario Institutional (PRI) has picked Enrique Pena Nieto as their candidate to run for president in Mexico's 2012 election. Prior to the announcement of his presidential candidacy, the 45-year old Mexican politician served as governor of the State of Mexico from 2005 to 2011. Although politics is in his blood, so to speak, he has nevertheless studied, and on his own, acquired degrees in both law and business.
Peña Nieto has been a member of PRI since 1984. When he started with the PRI, he was and instructor and later became Coordinator for the party's Parliamentary Group in the LV Legislation. Add to his resume, Chairman of the Political Coordination of the same Legislature.
If you count the decade of the 90's to the year 2002, Nieto was working for the state government of Mexico for at least 10, maybe 12, years. While there, he was Government Administration Secretary, President of the Directive Council for the Social Security Institute, President of the Internal Council of Health Institute and Vice President of the Government Board for Integral Family Development System He joined the Public Administration and the Administrative Council for Decentralized Public Agencies.
Nieto exemplified what it means to be dedicated to politics by also being a political advisor to the PRI in addition to everything else. All of his duties helped to prepare him for his future as a candidate. His elaborate and systematic plan of action from state government to presidential candidate has been steady.
He knows the process well since he has already nominated candidates for the governorship of Mexico, in 2004. There were many candidates Nieto had to pass in order to grab the nomination: Guillermo González Martínez, Gustavo Cárdenas Monroy, Jaime Vázquez Castillo, Eduardo Bernal Martínez, Fernando Alberto García Cuevas, Cuauhtémoc García Ortega, Isidro Pastor Medrano, Enrique Jacob Rocha, Héctor Luna de la Vega and Carlos Hank Rhon. He represented the PRI as the gubernatorial candidate in February of 2005.
Victory day was July 3, 2005. He won 49 percent of the vote. On September 15, 2005, he was sworn in as constitutional Governor of the state of Mexico at the Morelos Theater in Toluca before a crowd of 5,000 people.
The environment, energy reform and sustainable development and the acceleration of educational reform in support of youth empowerment and employment generation were his priorities when he became governor. His ability to address strong issues that caused great conflict within the party speaks to his courage and political savvy. The state's economy, housing and agriculture business all benefited from his time in office.
He closed the door on his job as governor and opened the door to the presidency. Oddly, Senator Manlio Fabio Beltrones, his only opponent decided not to run. Beltrone quits Nieto fits.
Although there has been a lot of talk of illegitimacy, Pena Nieto is considered to be the next president of Mexico. He is waging political war with his own presidential polls against his opponents, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of the leftist PRD party and Josefina Vazquez Mota of the ruling party PAN. On July 1, 2012, Mexico will hold its Presidential Elections with some 80 million people voting for their new set of officials.
THE PRI is counting on their candidate to bring home the prize of president. Mexico has always called their head of state president, but truthfully, men who were more like dictators have ruled Mexico, and Enrique Pena Nieto hopes to change all that. Pena Nieto wants to develop Mexico into the nation it ought to be, a country with great natural resources and good people who are willing and able to work who should not be afraid and who have to leave in order to survive, but let's face it, Nieto has gotten where he is with the help of many people who he too will probably owe favors....good luck Mexico!
