Supporters
His presidency was marked by serious crises that eroded public support, notably the September 2014 disappearance of 43 students from Ayotzinapa in Iguala, Guerrero, and the "Casa Blanca" conflict-of-interest scandal revealed in November 2014 involving a residence linked to a government contractor. The 2015 escape of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán from the Altiplano prison further damaged his standing.
