MEXICO: Gordillo steps back, Montiel forward
Elba Esther Gordillo has lost in the courts and resigned as secretary-general of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) - but is holding on to her party membership. This is good news for her arch-enemy, presidential aspirant Roberto Madrazo.

There has also been a mixed bag of news for the ruling Partido Acción Nacional (PAN).
