In 2006, he achieved that goal, but it was in the midst of one of the nation's most turbulent political scandals. His father was one of the founders of the National Action Party, or PAN, which struggled for years to gain political momentum against the PRI, the party that dominated the political scene for decades. The highly controversial election of 2006 is just one part of the complex world of Mexican politics, on which Calderon is now trying to leave a positive imprint.
