Highlights
- After coming to power on Dec. 1, the new Mexican government's main domestic aim will be to cement its dominance of Mexico's political system.
- To continue attracting voters at the polls, the government will enact popular policies such as anti-corruption measures and greater social spending, while also expanding control over key political networks at labor unions to maximize the number of votes it can count on at election time.
- Mexico's new administration will also mull more ideologically motivated policies to roll back energy reforms by tightening the government's control over upstream resources.
