MEXICO: All change
One of the least appreciated but most crucial achievements of the
government of President Vicente Fox (2000 to 2006) was to enable Mexico's
constitutional machinery to function. The big beneficiary of the first
non-Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) president since the Revolution
was the supreme court. Thanks largely to Fox the supreme court has made a series
of profound and illuminating decisions on a range of issues. Now the court is
looking for both a new president and a new judge to replace one of its most
important members, José de Jesús Gudiño Pelayo, who died suddenly on 19
September while on a trip to London.
