Thousands protest the inauguration of new President Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto in Mexico City on December 1st, 2012. Photo Ivan Castaneira<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The transition of power in Mexico was not peaceful. On Dec. 1, Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto took over as president while in the streets of the capital, thousands protested.<\/p>\n

By Dec. 3, 69 arrests and nine wounded were reported after protests. It was estimated that the damage to shops and public buildings exceeded $500,000.<\/p>\n

The protests led to the deployment of 5,000 police and of these, 1,400 surrounded the headquarters of the Congress where the outgoing president, Felipe Calder\u00f3n, and Pe\u00f1a Nieto represented the formal ceremony of transfer of power.<\/p>\n

Pe\u00f1a Nieto will run the country for six years. His victory, which opponents argue was fraudulent, brings back the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) that for more than 70 years ruled Mexico without interruption, through a state-party model that the writer Mario Vargas Llosa, in the early nineties, described as the \u201cperfect dictatorship.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Hermosillo, Sonora, and Saltillo, Coahuila\u2014two entities that border the United States\u2014 PRI headquarters were attacked with molotov cocktails. No one was injured.<\/p>\n

In San Francisco, about 30 people protested the arrival of Pe\u00f1a Nieto to the presidency of Mexico. Supporters of the movement \u201cYo Soy 132\u201d demonstrated on the Golden Gate Bridge and, for a few minutes, put a banner on Civic Center Plaza, across from City Hall, that read \u201cPe\u00f1a Nieto not wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n
