Mexico is currently facing a change that will mark the country, at least for the next six years. As readers may know, presidential elections took place last July 1st and the announced winner is Enrique Peña Nieto, candidate of the PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party). In a context where none of the presidential candidates defined a concrete proposal in terms of human rights, Peña Nieto’s virtual victory marks the return of the party that controlled Mexico for over 70 years using authoritarian tactics. In view of this situation, Center Prodh and other human rights organizations continue to support the strengthening of citizen participation and the demand for justice. As we prepare for new challenges ahead, of course, the pending human rights issues of the country remain.
