MEXICO: Trying to decipher the new PGR chief
As this issue begins to circulate, the
Mexican senate will most probably be voting to ratify the appointment of Arturo
Chávez Chávez as the new head of the Procuraduría General de la República (PGR)
— an outcome which appeared secure after the bloc of the opposition Partido
Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) decided, on 22 September, not to object. The
new federal attorney-general will be taking office against a backdrop of
successes in operations mounted by his predecessor, lingering doubts about the
reasons for Eduardo Medina Mora's departure, and uncertainty about future PGR
policy.
