Enrique Pena Nieto joins the fight against violence

Enrique Pena Nieto, a leading runner for the presidency in Mexico, believes that security and social justice are two concerns that must be addressed immediately, not only because it concerns all Mexicans, but because the government has an obligation to solve problems that affect the society at large.

From Enrique Peña Nieto

In Mexico, there is a general sense of mistrust in institutions that are responsible for enforcement and administration of justice: 87% of crimes committed remain unreported, while the impunity rate has reached an all-time high of 98%. These institutions are therefore not very effective in ensuring prompt and efficient security, which can arouse fear and restlessness among the citizens. To address this issue, Enrique Pena Nieto proposed a national strategy to reduce violence, as well as the number of homicides, kidnappings, and extortion, through these key objectives:

From Enrique Peña Nieto

*Strengthening crime prevention and community involvement by creating job opportunities for the youth and groups of people treading the poverty line (There must be a strong emphasis on economic growth, job creation, and equal opportunities.)


*Placing a greater importance in anti-money laundering and arms control, the bloodline of criminal organizations


*Focusing on the actions of the Federal government by performing operations intelligently, thus ensuring accurate, positive results


*Strengthening police forces

From Enrique Peña Nieto

Enrique Pena Nieto believes that if these things are to happen within the next six years, security and justice will be strengthened in the nation, and the citizenry’s faith in the forces that control national security will be restored – and a much-needed sense of peace will be felt.

Enrique Pena Nieto and the PRI: Restructuring Mexico

From Enrique Peña Nieto

With the modern days dawned a new challenge to the United Mexican States—its sheer power proving to be pivotal for the country’s reclaiming of its international power. 

Enrique Pena Nieto and the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) set to stage a socio-economic battle, with no guns or strife, but with only the political know-how of its members as its artillery. The purpose: To restructure the Mexican government.

From Enrique Peña Nieto

Although fair and transparent elections now exist, the country still struggles to realize true socio-economic democracy. One effort to end the struggle and begin the change is the creation of a collective political body (construir de manera colectiva) that would open to all citizens. By encouraging the presence of independent candidates, political competitiveness would be achieved—inevitably pushing political parties to be more effective in addressing society’s most pressing concerns.

As deemed by Enrique Pena Nieto and the members of the PRI, this will give a better representation of the populace and will contribute to the creation of more relevant policies. The “collective” would spawn a transition state, al Estado del siglo XXI (the State of XXI century), where comprehensive electoral democracy, family planning, trade realization, and macroeconomic stability would be reached or implemented.

Should these changes in the political system be realized, an effective state (estado eficaz) would emerge. It is only through this effective state that the country’s standard of living would be raised and its full economic potential would be attained.
