Mexico & Nafta - July 2008 (ISSN 1741-444X)
Countdown starts for Calderón. The mid-term elections appear to be beginning to dominate President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa’s mind. Political commentators have seized on a Freudian slip, but more tangible evidence comes from Calderón’s manoeuvring against his rivals in the Partido Acción Nacional. The most high profile casualties of this have been Santiago Creel Miranda, once interior minister, and Manuel Espino Barrientos, a former party president. Calderón’s ruthlessness with his colleagues looks designed to ensure that the party remains disciplined.
