MEXICO: Peña Nieto shakes up his team
Enrique Peña Nieto shook up his campaign team this week. Peña Nieto is all but certain to be the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) candidate in the 1 July presidential elections, and is well ahead in the opinion polls (though he has dipped over the past three months after a series of gaffes). Old guard priístas had complained that the mistakes Peña Nieto had made over the past month or so were the result of his team being too stretched. So Luis Videgaray, the former PRI party president in the Estado de México (the state of which Peña Nieto was governor), and Peña Nieto’s main adviser, was bolstered by two more experienced deputy campaign managers and a new tier of regional campaign managers.
