Enrique Pena Nieto and Mexico’s weakened press

After the July 2012 national elections, Enrique Pena Nieto was declared president-elect of Mexico, set to ascend into power by December of the same year.

The new president promised to address the pervasive problem of illegal drug trade that has permeated into all aspects of the country’s socio-politics. Suspicion abound in certain localities that the local governments, police forces, and media are all controlled by drug cartels responsible for violent criminal activity.

According to the worldwide alliance Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), women and men who work in media have been systematically silenced in a variety of ways for their roles in exposing the abuse of authority among law enforcers and government officials in favor of influential drug families. Some have been murdered, while others have been abducted or have disappeared.

But President-elect Pena Nieto has more than just corruption to fight. Behind wayward politicians and their henchmen are drug cartels determined to suppress any news about the violence wreaked by these organizations. A local newspaper, El Norte, was attacked for the third time in one month, according to reports. These attacks have gone unsolved.

But crimes against media have a way of going unsolved in these territories. According to the CPJ, Durango-based crime reporter Bladimir Antuna García was murdered—but just like the reports of harassment that the journalist once lodged with the local police, his assassination remained ignored.

Clearly, the new president has his tasks cut out for him. The manner by which he plans to proceed is interesting in that it may be significantly different from the tactics employed by the political party, which held sway over Mexico’s political arena over the past decade.

Enrique Pena Nieto and the hope for a progressive Mexico

Enrique Pena Nieto and his rivals in the presidential race just recently wrapped up their campaigns as the Election Day in Mexico drew nearer. As of June 27, the last day for campaigning, news sources reported that the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) candidate’s support from the voters further increased, giving him a significant lead over his rivals.

Pundits attribute this outpouring of support from majority of Mexico’s voters to the hope that this next government will have more political will and drive to successfully implement projects that will boost the country’s underperforming economy. In addition, there is also a strong belief in the campaigns of its frontrunner to restore the peace that Mexico lost because of the drug gangs running rampant.

Enrique Pena Nieto echoed the thoughts of many Mexican citizens as he said during the last day of campaigning: “We want a country that lives in peace, is calm and is safe.” This is the statement that describes most clearly what many citizens think of the current presidential elections in Mexico. It wants a new government because the previous one, led by members of the National Action Party (PAN), has been judged by the people to be inefficient in dealing with the problems that have been plaguing the country.

With Pena Nieto having a significant lead over his rivals in the election, it seems that Mexico might finally have a fighting chance in remedying the ills of its society with its new leader. The dream of a progressive Mexico seems to be within reach but it all depends on who the people will vote for.

Enrique Pena Nieto: Strengthening reputation for efficiency

Amid efforts to take him down at the 2012 presidential elections, presidential front-runner Enrique Pena Nieto of PRI is busy advocating his platforms aimed at the common man. Notwithstanding the protests and scandals that tend to damage his carefully crafted image, the front-runner calls for ‘more democracy among Mexicans’ and advises to get past those frivolities which seem to impede the movement toward good governance and a better country.

Showing courage under fire, the PRI candidate remains focused on his platforms and one of which is to strengthen democracy which the National Action Party (PAN) hasn’t been able to fulfill. In an interview by Marina Jimenez of The Globe and Mail, the presidential candidate says that he and the PRI aim to diminish people’s disenchantment towards democracy. Enrique Pena Nieto says, “People have become disenchanted and we have to end that. The PRI has the political strength and the social backing to bring about the structural reforms the country needs. The right has already shown it is not capable of doing it, and the left has pronounced that it doesn’t want to do it.”

In the interview, the front-runner communicates the need to reach agreements among parties with different political options to establish reforms and improve the country’s overall condition. He says, “If I’m the president, I will call in all the different political opinions to come together and to make one front to the benefit of Mexico.” Beyond reforms, the candidate expresses his goal to ignite hope and positivism for the country.

Enrique Pena Nieto: Creating a government that Mexicans can trust

The Mexican people clamor for change, and that, according to Enrique Pena Nieto, is what they should get. Throughout his campaign, he has stressed his resolve to be the catalyst of Mexico’s transformation by creating a credible government that his people can place their confidence in.

From Enrique Peña Nieto

The first step, according to Pena Nieto is to create a government that meets its people’s needs, and fulfills its promises. In the course of his campaign, the presidential candidate outlined five platforms that would change the face of Mexico and address his constituents’ concerns. He emphasized his plans to promote peace and security, eradicate poverty, make education more available, reduce unemployment, and restore Mexico’s leadership and its place among the top in the world.

From Enrique Peña Nieto

Moreover, for Enrique Pena Nieto, the country should switch its goals to its development and progress. Only by aiming the country’s priorities towards economic growth can one truly fight the banes called poverty and unemployment, as well as imbue Mexicans with a sense of security. The government should spearhead this movement, and that is what his leadership will do.

Pena Nieto added that to regain the people’s trust in the government’s credibility, one must strive for transparency. It may be remembered that he sought to achieve this end by calling on politicians and other members of the government to present the public with a list of their assets and properties.

"I want to make a campaign distinguished by responding to the needs of the population,” Enrique Pena Nieto said.

The Partido Revolucionario Institucional or PRI (where former State of Mexico governor Enrique Pena Nieto is an associate) and the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (Partido Verde Ecologista de México or PVEM) established an alliance that aims to defend mutual policies in sustainable development, ecology, employment, and support for youth. Dubbed as Alliance for Mexico (PRI-PVEM), the coalition commits to pursue environmental protection and control of environmental degradation, as well as the promotion of sustainable development, which will allow every individual to live in a just society and in harmony with nature.

The Green Party of Mexico is geared toward becoming the vehicle for citizens who wish to participate in a democratic decision-making concerning the sustainability of natural resources and the right of everyone to pursue economic, political, and social endeavors. Ecologically-minded political leaders like Pena Nieto agree that with a representative body that concerns itself with ecological politics, the dilemmas in the environment can be effectively diminished. More so, this can be successfully achieved with the active involvement of every citizen in every state-led environmental campaign.

Mexico is one of the 18 megadiverse countries of the world. With hundreds of thousands of different species, the country is a hot spot to a lot of unique organisms. The country also has thousands of square kilometers of areas that are considered “Protected Natural Regions,” and is home to several biosphere reserves. In order to preserve these precious resources, Alliance for Mexico has taken initiatives that will expand people’s knowledge, interest, and use of the country’s esteemed biodiversity.
