It's official; Enrique Pena Nieto is the primary candidate for the PRI Party for the 2012 Mexican Elections. 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. It is true that Enrique Pena Nieto is related to other politicians, but to his credit, he has made an effort to better himself with a law degree as well as an MBA.
He helped lay the groundwork for his political career when he became a member of the PRI in 1984. First an instructor, then a coordinator, Enrique Pena Nieto worked his way up through the party's ranks. He was Chairman of the Political Coordination Board of the same legislature.
He was involved in the Mexican State government from the 90's up until 2002. 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, are all positions he held during his time with the state government of Mexico. In addition, he was a member of the National Institute of Public Administration and the Administrative Council for Decentralized Public Agencies.
Preparation for his run for the presidency included being a political advisor, at one time. Becoming a presidential candidate has been culmination of all his years working for the state government of Mexico. His elaborate and systematic plan of action from state government to presidential candidate has been steady.
He helped pick the governor of the state 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. The baton of governorship was passed over to Nieto on September 15, 2005 at the Morelos Theater in Toluca in front of 5,000 people.
His main focus when he took over was the environment, energy reform and sustainable development and the acceleration of educational reform in support of youth empowerment and employment generation. His ability to address strong issues that caused great conflict within the party speaks to his courage and political savvy. His success as governor in helping the people of the state of Mexico helped him obtain the presidential candidacy.
His run for the presidency began when he finished his term as governor. Oddly, Senator Manlio Fabio Beltrones, his only opponent decided not to run. With Beltrone out of the way, Nieto had no one to stop him from obtaining the nomination.
Despite controversies, Pena Nieto is often referred to as the next president of Mexico. It is no surprise that Pena Nieto has cleverly held his own political polls to discredit his opponents, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of the leftist PRD party and Josefina Vazquez Mota of the ruling party PAN. The official election for Mexico's 80 million people will be held on July 1 of this year.
THE PRI is counting on their candidate to bring home the prize of president. His concern and good work for the people of Mexico have laid the groundwork for the perception of Pena Nieto to be that of a democratic president unlike past presidents who were more like dictators. He hopes to lead Mexico into a new era of prosperity and peace.
