Mexico's New President Vows to Continue Fight Against Drug Gangs -- Wall Street Journal
MEXICO CITY -- Mexico's president-elect Enrique Peña Nieto, fresh off his weekend election victory, said Tuesday he plans to continue President Felipe Calderón's fight against the country's drug gangs, but outlined a long-term strategy to place more of the battle in the hands of civilians rather than the military.
In a wide-ranging interview in the capital, Mr. Peña Nieto, of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, praised much of Mr. Calderón's strategy against organized crime, including the creation of a federal police force and growing cooperation with the U.S.
He also said he saw Colombia, long the U.S.'s closest ally in the region, as offering valuable lessons in fighting organized crime.
