Cabinet Changes

More changes among cabinet heavyweights: Felipe Calderón sent Secretary of the Economy Eduardo Sojo to INEGI, the agency charged with demographic analysis. INEGI is a respected body, so this isn't quite the step down it may seem, but I'm guessing there aren't a whole lot of smiles in the Sojo household today. Gerardo Ruiz Mateos, a businessman said to be close to Calderón, is the new Economy boss. In response to the changes, Macario Schettino strikes a note of slight concern. 

Calderón has a long way to go before he approaches the haphazard turnover that we saw in the Fox cabinet, and presumably he wants to get pending changes out of the way before the mid-term campaign begins in earnest, but one has to wonder how many more cabinet adjustments are in the offing. For the sake of appearances, the fewer the better. 

Update: Salvador García Soto sees the move as a promotion for Sojo, as well as a step further in the "Guanajuatizing" of the PAN. I'll take his word for it.
