Re:Mexicans vote to return PRI to power
A quick look at the results indicates that the voter turnout was higher (63.14%) in 2012 than in 2006 (59.35%). Total votes for AMLO are reported to be 15,535,000 and for the PRI 18,727,000. This tends to discredit the author's argument that AMLO's centrist rhetoric alienated supporters.
Moreover, such is the widespread belief (40%) that there was fraud, added to the protest movement that turned out 100,000 people in El Zócalo on July 7, that the PRI is forced to postpone an ambitious package of "reforms"--particularly a labor reform--that it planned to push through parliament in a special session this year. (http://www.jornada.unam.mx/ultimas/2012/07/13/141547347-alegatos-de-izquierda-socavan-reforma-rapida-que-pugna-pena-wsj)
Thus, those who did not abstain and but supported the PRD candidate in these elections, are on the right side in what is shaping up to be a popular anti-systemic struggle. Those parties that did abstain are going to have a hard time relating to the protest movement that has formed around the perception that Peña Nieto is being imposed on the people.
