The 1st of July 2012 was the big election day, the Mexican “Super Sunday”. Polls had been predicting for months that the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) and its candidate, Enrique Peña Nieto (EPN) would form the next government. As president, Peña Nieto will have to rely on the opposition in order to progress the very reforms that the PRI had blocked in the past in its role as the largest party of opposition.
