MEXICO: Calderón drops Gómez Mont
President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa dismissed his interior minister,
Fernando Gómez Mont, and moved his economy minister to become his chief of staff
on 14 July. The departure of Gómez Mont has been inevitable since the purely
tactical “Stop the PRI" alliances did so well in the 4 July gubernatorial
elections. Gómez Mont opposed the tactical alliances, which were the brainchild
of César Nava, the president of the ruling Partido Acción Nacional (PAN). The
PAN's partners in these alliances are a motley crew of its ideological opponents
from the Left whose only point of agreement with the PAN is their common
detestation of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI).
