The PRI’s candidate, Enrique Peña Nieto, holds an insurmountable lead late in the campaign. Many Mexicans, as well as the country’s foreign friends, fear that this turn of events heralds a return to the authoritarian, corrupt, and discredited past that Mexico had left behind when the National Action Party’s candidate, Vicente Fox, won the presidency in 2000.
发自墨西哥城——在即将到来的7月1日，墨西哥人很可能会将曾经统治该国70年的革命制度党（Institutional Revolutionary Party, PRI）再次选上权力宝座。该党候选人恩里克·佩纳·聂托（Enrique Peña Nieto）已经在最近的选举中确立了无法逾越的优势。而许多墨西哥人，包括外国友人，都害怕这一胜利将预示着专制，腐败和种种不光彩往事的复辟——这些东西本已在2000年随着国家行动党（National Action Party）候选人文森·福克斯（Vicente Fox）当选总统而烟消云散了。
