Mr Peña is dodging the most important task: to punish corrupt political bosses who are complicit in organised crime. And the government itself is now stained by scandal. The latest embarrassment, reported this week in the Wall Street Journal, is that in 2005 Mr Peña bought a house from a small builder who has won a slew of contracts from his administration. This follows the revelation that Luis Videgaray, his finance minister, bought a $500,000 house at a fashionable golf club with a mortgage from the vendor, a company owned by Juan Armando Hinojosa. The businessman has received much work from the federal government and previously from the state of Mexico when Mr Peña was its governor and Mr Videgaray was finance secretary. economist/news/americas/21640397-president-who-doesnt-get-he-doesnt-get-it-mexican-morass?zid=309&ah=80dcf288b8561b012f603b9fd9577f0e
