The
Los Angeles Times pays relatively close attention to Mexico. Here they publish an opinion piece by a leading Mexican law professor John Ackerman who is entirely unimpressed with current President Enrique Peña Nieto and his administration.
Peña Nieto has followed the classic strategy typical of old-guard Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) governments and contemporary organized crime syndicates.
Ackerman concludes:
It would be a mistake for the U.S. to trust a man whose only interest appears to be his personal wealth and power.
It was unrealistic to expect the old PRI to change M.O. after a couple of terms out of office.
