Abstract

The careers of the cabinet members of presidents Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon are reviewed, in order to analyze their experience and preparation in administrative and political tasks. The purpose is to observe whether the PAN, in opposition until 2000, has had the capacity to govern Mexico immediately after achieving political alternation and thus bringing the democratic transition formally to an end. The review shows that in appointing collaborators both leaders have favored managers, entrepreneurs, specialists trained in the years of PRI domination, and, specially, friends. With the exception of the specialists, the rest display notable inexperience in the entrusted tasks. Adapted from the source document.
