MEXICO: Peña Nieto’s leadership comes under question
Dismissing suggestions made by government detractors and the political opposition that leaving Mexico amid the continuing mass protests over the Iguala disappearances was not advisable, President Enrique Peña Nieto decided to embark on a seven-day international tour on 9 November. Peña Nieto, who left to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit in China between 9 and 11 November and the G-20 meeting in Australia later in the week, argues that his decision is justified given that he would represent Mexico in significant international forums. However, his decision has been heavily criticised with some demonstrators now even calling for him to step down for being an “incompetent and absent leader”.
