His six-year term began in 2012. A member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), he served as governor of the State of Mexico from 2005 to 2011. Peña Nieto was declared "president-elect" after the 2012 general election was declared valid by the Federal Electoral Tribunal,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://portal.te.gob.mx/en/contenido/about-us )〕 amidst accusations of electoral fraud. He took office on 1 December 2012,〔 succeeding Felipe Calderón. Peña Nieto announced his presidential candidacy in September 2011, four days after leaving office as governor. He formally registered in November 2011. Peña Nieto garnered a plurality of 39% of the vote and does not hold a legislative majority. His election marked the return of the PRI to power after a twelve-year hiatus. The PRI had governed Mexico uninterrupted for 71 years until it was defeated by the National Action Party (PAN) in 2000. The return of the PRI was not welcomed by everyone. Marches against Peña Nieto drew tens of thousands of people across Mexico, particularly from the Yo Soy 132 student movement, who protested alleged voting irregularities and media bias. Others protested that during its time in power, the PRI became a symbol of corruption, repression, economic mismanagement and electoral fraud. Many Mexicans and urban dwellers worried that its return to power might signify a return to Mexico's past. Peña Nieto promised that his government would be much more democratic, modern and open to criticism. He also pledged to continue the fight against organized crime and drug trade and that there would be no pacts with criminals.〔 The rule of the PAN was marked by an inability to pass reform and the party also lacked a congressional majority. The PRI touted that it "knows how to govern", an argument compelling enough for many voters to support the party. Throughout the election Peña Nieto maintained a wide lead in the polls. He promised to reinvigorate Mexico's economy,〔 permit national oil company Pemex to compete in the private sector, and reduce drug violence that has left more than 55,000 dead in six years. Peña Nieto has twice appeared in ''Forbes'' Magazine's List of The World's Most Powerful People, once in 2013, where he was ranked 37th, and again in 2014, where he was ranked 60th. ==Early life and education== Peña Nieto was born on 20 July 1966 in Atlacomulco, State of Mexico, a city 55 miles northwest from the Mexico City.〔 He is the eldest of four siblings in a middle-class family; his father, Gilberto Enrique Peña del Mazo, was an electrical engineer; his mother, María del Perpetuo Socorro Ofelia Nieto Sánches, a school teacher. He attended Denis Hall School in Alfred, Maine during one year of junior high school in 1979 to learn English.〔 People who knew him in his early years said that he was a sharp dresser, and told teachers at his school that he planned to be governor of the State of Mexico.〔 During his childhood, Peña Nieto was referred to as "Quique," a nickname short for Enrique. Peña Nieto distinguished himself in childhood for being courteous and tidy and well-groomed.〔 His mother recalls how she would squeeze lemon juice on Peña Nieto's hair to keep his now famous hairstyle in place.〔 Some neighbors in Atlacomulco recall that Peña Nieto was an "overprotected" kid. After living in Atlacomulco for the first 11 years of his life, Peña Nieto's family moved to the city of Toluca.〔 As a teenager, he became a fan of football and spent hours playing chess with his friends; he later learned how to drive his mother's car and was given his first car.〔 During adolescence, his father would often take him to the campaign rallies of the State of Mexico's governor, Jorge Jiménez Cantú, a close friend of his. The successor of the governor was Alfredo del Mazo González, a cousin of Peña Nieto's father. During Del Mazo González's campaign in 1981, the fifteen-year-old Peña Nieto had his first direct contact with Mexican politics: he began delivering propaganda in favor of his relative, a memory Peña Nieto still recalls as the turning point and start of his deep interest in politics.〔 In 1984 at the age of 18, Peña Nieto traveled to Mexico City and enrolled in the Universidad Panamericana, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Law;〔 he later went on to obtain a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Business Administration from ITAM.〔(Biography Enrique Peña Nieto ) - website of the President of Mexico〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Enrique Peña Nieto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
