Whatever the advantages of a cabinet comprising solely members of his Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), this is not what Calderón sought.

同样，卡尔德龙与革命制度党的谈判也进行得举步唯艰，未能成功地建立起联合政府，而卡氏曾反复强调只有联合政府才能打破自1997年来一直困扰着墨西哥的停滞局面。无论纯粹由国家行动党（PAN）构成的内阁有多少好处，那也并非是卡尔德龙的初衷。同样，无法就就职仪式与反对派达成任何协议¾于是就上演了议员们在议会大打出手，而卡尔德龙则被从后门悄悄引入、匆匆完成就职仪式这样尴尬、混乱的一幕。
