Mexico has had some political transformations in the recent years, as hundreds of people have disappeared during recent years. But the inaction of the politicians have had consequences on the ruling party the PRI. The disappearances of the students in Iguala have tainted the reputation of the President Enrique Pena Nieto who even before being elected has caused controversy in the political sphere of Mexico. Many of the politicians who have been under the membership of the PRI have had a reputation of being corrupt such as the ex-governor of Coahuila Humberto Moreira.
Humberto Moreira
The disappearances of the 43 students in Iguana has exposed the levels of corruption in the state of Guerrero, and the recent case of the first lady buying a million dollar home in an upscale neighborhood in Mexico City has caused the population to reject the current government. Another thing that has caused controversy in the silence of most media outlets especially the National Broadcaster Televisa who has just been a cheerleader of the National Government.
But during the last years election in the state of Nuevo Leon Jaime Rodriguez Calderon who jumped the Talanquera or political party from the PRI to running as an independent candidate. His campaign was very controversial, as the main media corporations were against the candidate platform, but to the surprise of the political spectators Rodriguez Calderon won by a very wide margin against the PAN candidate by 30 points. Many candidates have decided to follow Calderon's example, and are planning now to run as independent's and disdain the political groups that have hampered the North American nation.
Still the media is influenced by the big politicians who pour a lot of money and intimidate anyone who rises up again the government. For example 30 journalists have been killed just in the current administration, and thousands have disappeared, and many live in exile, because of the drug cartels or the Mexican government.
