Ángel Aguirre, governor

Ángel Aguirre assumed as governor of Guerrero Friday, an event, which was attended by range of PRD and aliancista governors, and Interior Secretary José Francisco Blake Mora.

His predecessor, Zeferino Torreblanca, didn't even bother showing up for the ceremony

First order of the new government: Signing an agreement with Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard to set up the Metrobus system in Guerrero. Expect more to follow soon: During his campaign, Aguirre often spoke of copying Mexico City's very successful social programs, some set up by AMLO, others developed by Ebrard. He may in the end prove some of his critics wrong and do govern from the center-left.
