MEXICO: Campaigning comes to a temporary stop
Three local elections, including the gubernatorial elections in the all-important Estado de México, take place on 3 July. Political campaigning by the three most important parties might have come to a temporary mandatory stop, but the ruling Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), and the left-wing Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD), took the opportunity to make gestures in preparation for next year's general elections. Meanwhile, the main opposition Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) appears more focused on the immediate task ahead, retaining its hold on the Estado before turning its full attention to 2012.
