FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The governing National Action Party’s candidate came a distant third and
President Felipe Calderón immediately congratulated Mr Peña Nieto on his
victory.
The telegenic lawyer, who is married to one of the country’s most popular soap
opera actresses and enjoys unrelentingly favourable coverage from Mexico’s
major broadcaster, led a remarkable turnaround for a party once ambivalently
known as “the perfect dictatorship”, taking back the presidency
and probably seizing control of Congress in a single election.
Formed in aftermath of the Mexican Revolution, the PRI governed from 1929
until 2000, when it was finally cast out by an electorate exhausted from
decades of corruption, backroom deals and sometimes violence.
But Mexicans overwhelmingly returned to the party over the weekend in the face
of faltering economic growth and a bloody drug war that has cost more 50,000
lives in the past six years.
In his victory speech, Mr Peña Nieto repeated his promise to shift the focus
away from the cartel’s drug smuggling operations and focus instead on
protecting civilians caught in the crossfire. “The fight against crime
will continue with a new strategy to reduce violence and above all protect
the lives of all Mexicans,” he said.
However, he also addressed fears held in both the US and Mexico that his new
plan would in practice mean a return to the PRI’s old tacit agreements with
the cartels, where the drug barons’ multi-billion dollar operations were
allowed to continue unhindered in exchange for relative peace.
“Let it be very clear: There will be no deal, no truce with organised
crime,” he said.
Mr Peña Nieto has hired the Colombian general credited with defeating his
country’s own drug gangs and plans to gradually withdraw the 40,000 soldiers
deployed on Mexico’s streets, replacing them with a national gendarmerie
focused on bringing down violence.
Under the Mexican federal system, Mr Peña Nieto will not take power until
December 1 but his announcements until then will be closely monitored in
Washington, where the debate continues to rage on immigration and the
unsecured 2000-mile border separating the US from its southern neighbour.
