Enrique Pena Nieto

Enrique Peña Nieto hasn’t stopped moving.

Since he took over as president of Mexico, two weeks ago, he has signed enough documents and made enough promises to keep his government busy for the whole six years they have in front of them.

In his inaugural address, he laid out a 13-point plan with 13 promises to catapult Mexico into the future.

Two days later he joined Mexico’s other major political parties in signing the “Pact for Mexico,” in which all of the signees agree on a 95-point action plan.

And those 95 points are not minor. The include opening the petroleum industry to the private sector and ending the state monopoly, creating universal social security and unemployment insurance, a system for evaluating teachers to improve education, providing every student in the school system with a computer, defending human rights and the rights of immigrants as well as the right to broadband internet access and the licensing of two new television channels to compete with Televisa and TV Azteca.

If he only manages to get half of the things on the list done, Peña Nieto will be the best president in Mexico’s history.
