MEXICO: Basave elected to revitalise depressed PRD
Agustín Basave has been given the difficult task of reversing the fortunes of the left-wing opposition Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) ahead of 12 gubernatorial elections in June 2016. Basave won the internal PRD leadership contest with near-unanimous support on 7 November. His main challenges will be preserving this rare show of unity from the party’s warring factions; re-establishing the party as an opposition force, defending the rights of the poor and downtrodden in the leftist tradition; and recovering its ethical and ideological credibility.
