Guadalajara -
The prestigious American magazine Foreign Policy has named Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto one of the world's top 100 thinkers and decision makers.
Editors had high praise for the 47 year old Institutional Revolutionary Party president, noting that he embarked on an ambitious course of multiple political, economic and social reforms almost the moment he was sworn in on Dec. 1, 2012. Enrique Peña Nieto at one year: a marathon, not a sprint.
Other world leaders selected by Foreign Policy in its December edition include Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos, Brazil's Dilma Rousseff and Pope Francis.
The magazine particularly lauded president Peña Nieto's education and energy reforms. The latter face a crucial vote in Mexico's Senate today. PEMEX amendments are on the legislative "fast track."
Foreign Policy called the Mexican president a significant "world decision maker." In the field of public education, the magazine noted that Peña Nieto has taken steps to "end the domination of school teachers' unions over the entire system." Oaxaca education at the mercy of omnipotent syndicate.
The journal also praised Peña Nieto for promoting the Pact for Mexico, an agreement among the nation's three largest political parties to avoid partisan bickering and work together for the common good. The far left Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) recently abandoned that pact, infuriated over what appears to be the inevitability of energy reforms.
President Peña Nieto's selection by a magazine of world standing is the second time in less than a week that the nation has received international recognition. United Nations selects Mexico's Supreme Judicial Court for prestigious Defense of Human Rights Award.
