Because of his popularity in clamping down on crime, his political party “Nuevas Ideas,” won the mid-term legislative elections, and increased its control over the legislative branch, which allowed him to do a variety of reforms to reduce the power of the legislative and judicial branches vis-à-vis the executive branch.

In addition, his party’s legislative majority impeached two Supreme Court Justices that opposed presidential re-election, and this reform paved the way for the court to allow Mr.________ to run for a second presidential term, even though, the constitution previously prohibited the re-election of Presidents. As a consequence of the political reforms, US Diplomat Ricardo Zuniga who was the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemispheric Affairs, commented on the country’s political transformation, ‘He will be in power for many years to come, so you need to have a working relationship.
