The History of Enrique Peña Nieto

One of the front runners for Mexico's elections this 2012 is the rather dashing Enrique Peña Nieto. Among all those running for president, Nieto is perhaps the most popular at the moment. The other candidates have good reason to worry about Nieto.

The official campaign period for Mexico's 2012 Presidential Elections does not start until April but Peña Nieto's momentum and popularity see no signs of dwindling down. One of his specialtiies is the art of public speaking, which obviously helps his cause. He possesses an intense magnetism that takes him an hour to walk through a crowd because women grab on to him and do not want to let him go.

Some of the critics are prone to saying that Nieto's repute is all due to a supposed deal he made with the most influential TV network in Mexico. He reportedly paid the mass media giant large sums of money over the last five years to advertise the accomplishments of his previous administration in the state of Mexico. This, they say, is why Televisa always seems to be in support of Nieto's work.

It is proposed by some that the rumors were given voice only because Nieto admitted that he was seeing someone from the network's roster of stars, Angelica Rivera. The woman happens to be a superstar of Mexican TV. He was married to Rivera three years after the death of his first wife, Monica Pretelini.

Pena Nieto and Pretelini had three children, namely Paulina, Alejandro and Nicole. It was while Nieto was functioning as a governor for the state of Mexico that his first wife died. The result of Pretelini's passing was a renewed interest in the handsome Nieto as people wondered who would be his next wife.

There is even more to Nieto than his fame as a desired bachelor (at least, before Rivera), though. He has also gained attention for having gone around his former area of authority to find out what the locals needed and for working hard to resolve the demands. It is in relation to this that his concern for infrastructure has been noted.

Nieto is known for having held large parties or gatherings during inaugural dates of the resulting public works. Peña Nieto has successfully created an image of a man who gets things done, and one who works at keeping his promises to his people. It is a point of interest to critics, though, that Nieto has spent extravagant sums just to get the media exposure for these finished infrastructure projects.

An incident at a book fair not too long ago also drew critiques for the politician. It was found then that Nieto could not remember quite a number of important things about the texts he liked best. He admitted having a difficult time remembering the titles of books and that he focuses more on reading the content than memorizing its authors and titles.

His detractors basically had a field day when this happened. When one of his daughters was asked about it, she delivered a rather emotional response that may not have been wise. The incident remains, even now, one of the less than wonderful points in Nieto's record, for all that he acknowledges it himself.

It is a shame, Enrique Peña Nieto claims, that so much of his speech ends up being taken apart and decontextualized. Still, he has the strongest presidential bid to date. His is the strongest bid due to the voting population's fondness of him.
