PRI's win: It hurts, and especially because of the "why"

I readily admits it hurts to see the smirking face of PRI president Humberto Moreira all over the Mexican media, following the PRI's demolishing carro completo - and, as I believe Manuel Camacho has noted a few times, not chiefly for the PRI's victory, but because of how they win: They contract as much public and private debt they can, go on a wild spending free, and leave the problems for the future, for the people to pick up the bill.

It is an irresponsibility and cynicism that angers.

Eruviel Ávila's win, with 41 percent more votes than his closes adversary, is the highest in Mexico State's history, according to Milenio.

Yes, and when  Enrique Peña Nieto became governor of Mexico State, the state debt was 1.5 billion pesos.
By 2010, it was 37 billion.

PRI didn't win everywhere on Sunday

In one of the four state elections Sunday, the PRI actually lost, as of counting, at least 10 municipalities, including several important urban areas, and the outcome in the state capital Pachuca is still too close to call.

That state is Hidalgo. It is the only of the four states in which the PRD and the PAN went into an alliance.
