MEXICO: Madero and PAN change strategy
Mexico's ruling Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) chose Gustavo Madero
Muñoz, a senator from Chihuahua, as its next president on 4 December. Madero was
President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa's candidate and will run the PAN for the next
three years, covering the crucial presidential and congressional election year
of 2012. The problem for both Madero and Calderón is that the process which
resulted in Madero's triumph revealed major splits in the party. The PAN may now
try to bind those differences with action against the Partido Revolucionario
Institucional (PRI) which ruled Mexico from the Revolution until 2000.
