Backing for the centrist PRI has gradually crumbled since Pena Nieto took office in December 2012 because of anger over corruption, resurgent gang violence and tepid economic growth.
Read about it, here.

And if the PRI is "centrist", i'm Anthony Quinn!

Mexico ruling party says rules aimed at stopping rise of left
Quote:
 
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Rules adopted by Mexico's ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party allowing it to form coalitions and non-members to run for president were necessary to stop leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador from winning office next year, the PRI's president said.
Quote:
 
PRI President Enrique Ochoa on Monday called Lopez Obrador "the enemy to beat," repeating a long-standing refrain by Mexico's ruling class that he would wreck the economy with Venezuelan-style policies. Lopez Obrador's advisers say he supports the market economy.


Venezuela is the new boogeyman.

"Little citizen: take you austerity medicine without a protest, or you will wake up in Venezuela". :cool:

Mexico presidential hopeful rejects comparisons to Venezuela
Quote:
 
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The current front-runner for Mexico’s 2018 presidential election on Sunday rejected comparisons of his leftist party to Venezuela’s socialist government, saying his movement was a Mexican-made revolution against rampant corruption.

Former Mexico City Mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has led early opinion polls for the 2018 election, supported by frustration with rising crime and corruption scandals that have battered the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

Just last week, President Enrique Pena Nieto compared the 63-year-old to Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro, suggesting Lopez Obrador could unleash economic chaos if he wins office.
