Biography: Enrique Peña Nieto was a Mexican politician who served as the President of Mexico from 2012 to 2018, representing the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). His term was marked by significant policy changes, encompassing reforms in sectors such as energy, education, telecommunications, and the financial system. Despite these ambitious efforts, his administration also faced criticism and controversy, particularly in areas such as human rights and corruption.

One of Peña Nieto's key achievements was the Pact for Mexico, a political agreement signed by the three main political parties to promote and enact structural reforms. The reforms aimed to increase Mexico's global competitiveness, improve education standards, and liberalize the energy sector, among other objectives. These changes were viewed as bold attempts to modernize Mexico's economy and governance.

Peña Nieto's tenure, however, was not without significant challenges. His handling of high-profile incidents, such as the disappearance of 43 students in Iguala, drew widespread criticism. Allegations of corruption and conflicts of interest also emerged during his presidency.
