Reform: in the next two months?

President Calderon has thrown down the gauntlet, so to speak. Will the PRI and PAN work together to pass the two important pieces of legislation -- labor reform and modifications to an existing law that would extend its transparency and accountability provisions -- the President has sent to Congress? Under a "governability law" approved recently, Congress has two months to act on these proposals.

If Congress approves the reforms, the Calderon Administration can take the credit. Will the PRI get started now or will the party prefer to wait until Mr. Peña takes office to begin the reform process?
