MEXICO CITY – Felipe Calderon, who served as Mexico’s president from 2006 to 2012, said he might form a new party if the conservative National Action Party, or PAN, does not start a rebuilding process “with all the force possible.”

“The PAN can take advantage of this situation” and become a “clear option to be the party of the citizenry,” Calderon said.
