Enrique Peña Nieto

Enrique Peña Nieto (Spanish pronunciation: [enˈrike ˈpeɲa ˈnjeto]; born 20 July 1966), sometimes referred to by his initials EPN, is a Mexican politician who serves as the 57th and current President of Mexico. Educated as a lawyer, Peña Nieto had served as Secretary of Administration for the State of Mexico (2000–2002), as Representative of the 13th District of the State of Mexico (2003–2004), and as Governor of the State of Mexico (2005–2011) prior to becoming President.He was elected President on July 1, 2012, winning 39% of the vote and returning the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) to power after a twelve-year hiatus. The PRI had governed Mexico uninterrupted for 71 years until it was defeated by the National Action Party (PAN) in 2000. Peña Nieto took office on December 1, 2012, succeeding Felipe Calderón. Protests against the election of Peña Nieto drew tens of thousands of people across Mexico, particularly from the Yo Soy 132 student movement, who protested alleged voting irregularities and media bias. National and international award-winning Mexican reporter Carmen Aristegui detailed in 2016 how the Juarez Cartel used a series of shell corporations to fund Peña Nieto's campaign, and Peña Nieto then allowed the criminals to use government programs to launder money, and gave a previously-arrested cartel mafioso the directorship of a new government program ostensibly to help the poor, but in fact aided the Juarez Cartel.
