British prime minister
remains party leader
□ John Major defeated a
right-wing challenger
and will announce a
new Cabinet today.
LONDON (AP) — Pulling off
the biggest gamble of his career.
Prime Minister John Major de
feated a right-wing challenger
Tuesday to remain leader of a
shaken and still deeply unpopu
lar government.
Major, with two-thirds sup
port in a secret ballot among
the 329 legislators of his Con
servative Party, claimed a deci
sive victory and said he would
announce a new Cabinet on
Wednesday.
John Redwood, who quit the
22-member Cabinet last week to
run against Major as Conserva
tive Party leader and prime min
ister, got 89 votes. He acknowl
edged defeat and said Major
“has won fair and square.”
“The time for division is over,”
Major said, appearing outside his
Downing Street office soon after
the result was announced at the
nearby House of Commons. “We
have made our choice..”
With 218 votes. Major was
well past the 50-vote margin he
needed over Redwood. But he
was short of the 220 to 230 votes
most commentators and some
legislators considered would
make him totally secure.
In addition to votes for Red
wood, standard-bearer of opposi
tion to closer European union,
eight legislators abstained, 12
filled out their ballots in invalid
ways and two didn’t show up —
all signs of dissent in the secret
ballot. It meant one-third of leg
islators failed to support the 52-
year-old British leader.
Major’s supporters, though,
shouted with relief. He would
have had to resign if he lost or
face a second ballot if he won
only narrowly.
"The time for division
is over. We have made
New crisis in Mexico
over rising violence
our choice.'
—John Major
British Prime Minister
The victory gives Major
breathing space to redesign the
Cabinet and means he will now
probably lead the Conservatives
into national elections, which
must be held by April 1997.
Legislators who backed Ma
jor, or said they had, lined up
for broadcast interviews to de
clare an end to one of the dark
est episodes in Conservative
Party history.
□ A peasant massacre
and election scandals
have Mexicans ques
tioning President
Ernesto Zedillo's lead
ership skills.
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Ris
ing violence and stalled talks
i with the rebels and the opposi-
; tion are creating a sense of polit-
i ical crisis in Mexico that has
: many wondering if President
Ernesto Zedillo is in control.
A new round in the sputter-
; ing Chiapas peace process was
opening Tuesday, overshad
owed by a peasant massacre
; near Acapulco, the resignation
of the powerful Interior minis
ter, election scandals and new
| assassinations.
Zedillo has sought to inspire
confidence, but his presidency
got a rocky launch in December
: after a turbulent election cam-
; paign, the Chiapas uprising and
the killing of the first ruling par
ty candidate for president.
Then an economic crisis 20
: days after Zedillo took office
had foreign investors and Mexi
cans alike wondering if the
i president had the leadership
skills to do the job.
The question is being asked
again after new upheaval.
-Last Wednesday, police in
mountains above Acapulco am
bushed a truck carrying peas
ants to an opposition protest,
killing 17. Two police comman
ders and eight officers were ar
rested and charged with murder.
-Last Thursday, masked
gunmen sprayed bullets at a
Roman Catholic bishop on a
mountain road in the southern
state of Oaxaca.
-Adding to the sense of cri
sis, the two leading opposition
parties are boycotting talks
with Zedillo’s Interior Min
istry on national political re
form even as peace talks in
Chiapas stumble.
The reform dialogue stalled
after the opposition parties com
plained that the 66-year govern
ing Institutional Revolutionary
Party fraudulently won elections
in two southern states but failed
to resolve the disputes.
Zedillo moved to repair some
of the damage last week by re
placing his powerful interior*
minister, Esteban Moctezuma.
Critics said a stronger, more
seasoned political operator was
needed in the post overseeing
national security and sensitive
political negotiations.
