MEXICO: Meade anointed as PRI candidate
Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto announced on 27 November that his finance minister, José Antonio Meade, had resigned his position and would be standing as a presidential pre-candidate for the ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI). In doing so Peña Nieto revived a time-honoured tradition in the PRI, clearing up doubt over whether the so-called destape (‘unveiling’) of the president’s chosen successor at the conclusion of his sexenio would survive the PRI’s 12-year hiatus from power and the pressures of a much-changed Mexican political milieu.
