Presidency of Pena Nieto (apr 14, 2012 – jul 21, 2018)
Description:
Enrique Pena Nieto rose to prominence in 2005, serving as governor of the State of Mexico. After running for president, he won with 38% of the vote. However, Pena Nieto’s presidency was marred by controversy, with his approval rating just 12% by the end of his term. His on-air gaffes, allegations of corruption, spying and suppressing journalists, and the 2014 Iguala kidnapping left Pena Nieto’s presidency defined by scandals and controversy. At the same time, murder and the drug trade would only escalate violence throughout Mexico, leaving Pena Nieto as one of Mexico’s most controversial and least liked presidentsAdded to timeline:
