This R&D provides resources on Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. Nieto was elected in 2012 and is affiliated with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Nieto has championed reforms that call for liberalizing the Mexican economy and he has done his best to face down the nation’s teachers’ unions. However, these battles, along with continuing drug violence, have caused him to have very low approval ratings halfway through his presidency.
