Enrique Pena Nieto represents the Partido Revolutionario in the 2012 Mexican Presidential Elections Before he decided to run for president, he was the young governor of the State of Mexico from 2005 to 2011. While being related to several politicians, his political training and career commenced after completing a law degree from Universidad Panamericana and an MBA degree from Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey.
He has been connected to the PRI since 1984. He learned the ropes by being an instructor in PRI's Electoral Training Center and a Coordinator for the party's Parliamentary Group in the LV Legislature. He was Chairman of the Political Coordination Board 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 became affiliated with the National Institute of Public Administration and the Administrative Council for Decentralized Public Agencies.
Enrique Pena Nieto has been actively working within the PRI party in various capacities, even as political advisor to PRI National. His long term dedication to the party has paid off with his elevation to position of presidential candidate. 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. Because of his experience, he was able to win against such candidates as, 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. It wasn't until February of 2005 that he became the nominee for the governorship as a candidate of the PRI.
Victory day was July 3, 2005. He won by a landslide with a vote of 49 percent. He was sworn in as governor on September 15, 2005.
More than anything he wanted to change things in the areas of 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. Positive advances with respect to the state's economy, housing and agriculture sectors were achieved during his term.
He waited until the end of his term to run for the presidency. Oddly, Senator Manlio Fabio Beltrones, his only opponent decided not to run. After Beltrone made his decision not to run, Nieto had a free ride to the candidacy.
Despite controversies, Pena Nieto is often referred to as the next president of Mexico. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of the leftist PRD party and Josefina Vazquez Mota of the ruling party PAN are fair game, and Pena Nieto hasn't wasted any time to discredit them and now holds made up political polls where, quite naturally, he is the winner. The 80 million people in Mexico get to decide on who will govern them, on July 1, 2012.
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. 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!
