President-elect Enrique Peña Nieto, center, held a news conference in Mexico City on Monday. He has said he caught the political bug in elementary school.
A protest by members of the Yo Soy 132 movement, which opposes Mr. Peña Nieto and has called his election fraudulent. When his campaign was asked whom he considers his close friends, aides responded whit a Davos dinner party-likelist of political power brokers and opinion makers whom he had met in the past year.
Now those political skills will face a crucial test as he answers the big question in Mexico: whether he represents the old ways of the Institutional Revolutionary party, marked by cronyism, or a new more humbled version of it, as he has ressured voters during the campaign.
He is not one to deeply study issuesand, in a campaign gaffe last year at a book fair, could not name three books that influence him (and still could not in an interview whit The New York Times six months later). ”He is not a policy wonk” said Javier Treviño, a party stalwart who managed his campaign in Nuevo Leon state.
A delegation from Mexico State had decided to surprise President Carlos Menem whit the dish, and it fell on Mr.Peña Nieto, how was back in Mexico, to get it down there, and quickly, no matter the customs hurdles. “How he did it, I don’t know,” recalled Cesar Camacho.
Whit 99 percent of votes counted, Mr. Peña Nieto stood at 38 percent to Mr. Lopez Obrador’s 32 percent, while Josefina Vazquez Mota, the incumbent party’s candidate, had 25 percent. Mr. Peña Nieto defends the PRI, which was unceremoniouslydumped by voters in 2000, in the first real democratic election s here, ending 71 years of rule that had given the country political stability and lasting social programs but had enriched party cronies and stifled political dissent.
Mexico’s present-elect, Enrique Peña Nieto, began the transition to power on Monday, declaring that he would being to name members of his cabinet in the next few days, andpledging to lead an efficient, transparent administration focused on defeating organized crime and improving the economy.
Peña said he hoped to create “a democratic presidency that governs for all Mexicans”.
The next presidential elections in Mexico are matched with a reasonable difficulty of making reliable predictions on the outcome. After the elections of 2000 and change in 2006 questionedthe results, it is important that the next president has the power and the legitimacy to push through a new project for the whole country. All this in the midst of a controversial and costly war on drugs, with weak bilateral relationship with the U.S., which clearly has lost a step in the migration issue, and with economic figures that do not move to any optimism.

This is a open stage ofpolitical alliances, with a discredited political class and a disenchanted population. The pre-election analysis presents us with specific scenarios: (1) the ruling National Action Party (PAN), you should choose a young candidate and future, to a defeat that appears likely to be the cartel party medium term, or waive the future as a strategy to stake everything to this letter, with a coalition with otherparties or a strong candidate, (2) in the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), the possibility to stay longer out of federal power has caused the election of a while to be their candidate, whose image and media support has increased significantly in recent months, strengthening his image "presidential", and also boasts a cohesive and disciplined party; ( 3) the DemocraticRevolution Party (PRD), the Convergence Party and the Labor Party (PT), united under the banner of Dialogue for Rebuilding Mexico (DIA), must consider the possibility of adopting a suggested new 'electoral ticket'' that following the U.S. model, offer a candidate for president and one for' vice 'and (4) the essence of electoral debate should focus on the economy and the standard of living of Mexicans....
