MEXICO: Peña Nieto files lawsuit against states
President Enrique Peña Nieto has filed four constitutional complaints against the states of Chiapas, Michoacán, Oaxaca and Sonora before the supreme court of justice (SCJN) for failing to harmonise state education laws with the education reform promulgated by his government in February 2013. Winning approval for his education reform was always going to be easier than implementing it for Peña Nieto, but having faced down protesters for months on end in Mexico City, he is not going to allow states to dilute the reform through re-interpretation, or simply ignoring aspects of it they dislike.
