Profile
Pena Nieto became the No. 2 most powerful man in Mexico (behind the $73
billion man Carlos Slim Helu) in 2012, when he was elected president by a
narrow victory (38% of the popular vote). He campaign centered on
promises of ending the drug wars and revitalizing the economy. In one
whirlwind year he has tackled reforms to fix the public school and tax
collection system, bring more competition to the telecommunications industry and remodel the state-owned oil and gas sector.
