It was just before midnight when Enrique Peña Nieto declared victory as the newly
elected president of Mexico.
Peña Nieto was a lawyer and a millionaire, from a family of mayors and
governors. His wife was a telenovela star. He beamed as he was showered
with red, green, and white confetti at the Mexico City headquarters of
the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which had ruled for more
than 70 years before being forced out in 2000. Returning the party to
power on that night in July 2012, Peña Nieto vowed to tame drug
violence, fight corruption, and open a more transparent era in Mexican
politics.
