Calderón Names Foreign, Interior Ministers
President-elect of Mexico, Felipe Calderón has named four more members of his team. His new interior minister will be Francisco Ramírez Acuña, a loyal supporter of Calderón, while Patricia Espinosa will become foreign minister. Ramírez Acuña was until recently governor of the state of Jalisco; Espinosa is a career diplomat. One of first challenges facing Calderón when he takes over on December 1 will be the tempestuous state of affairs in Oaxaca where protestors continue to demand the resignation of the state governor. Other appointments were Germán Martínez as comptroller general, and Juan Camilo Mouriño as head of a newly created office of the presidency.
