Enrique Peña Nieto

While Peña Nieto's legacy is contentious, his political career includes notable achievements. He won a presidential election with a record turnout of 63%, bringing the PRI back to power. His energy reform ended decades of state monopoly, a historic shift for Mexico's oil industry. He also enacted education and financial reforms through the Pact for Mexico, demonstrating an ability to build cross-party consensus. These reforms were widely praised by economists, even as his security record drew criticism.
