PAN national president Gustavo Madero lashed out against the PRI for what can rightfully be described as reckless spending with very little to show for it:
- In Chihuahua, former PRI Governor José Reyes Baeza left new Governor César Duarte a debt of more than 13 billion pesos, 869 percent (!) higher than when Baeza assumed in 2004.
- In Nuevo León, Rodrigo Medina took office with a debt of 27 billion pesos, 222 higher than when his PRI predecessor José Natividad González Parás took office in 2003
- In Veracruz, Fidel Herrera left a debt of 9 billion pesos, 163 higher than in 2003
- In Tamaulipas, the thoroughly incompetent Eugenio Hernández left a 9 billion debt, 582 percent higher than when he took office
- Even Humberto Moreira, the young and dynamic golden boy who is set to lead the PRI, left Coahuila with a debt of 1.6 billion pesos, up from 273 million pesos when he came into office - though in the case of Coahuila, at least the state has quite a bit of achievements to show for this spending.
And let us not forget Mexico State, the disaster that Enrique Peña Nieto is heralding as a model for the rest of the country: 1.5 billion in debt in 2004 became.... 37 billion in debt by 2010!
All this from PRI, the party that claims it is the only one that really knows how to govern - and may win back national power in 2012.
