The weight of private television was decisive for the victory of Enrique Peña Nieto in the elections on Sunday July 1, 2012. For its part, the dream of the Gaviota had been fulfilled. Finally come to Los Pinos as First Lady. On Monday morning he wrote on his Facebook page: "Tonight, Mexico won. I have nothing but words of gratitude for the millions of Mexicans who this Sunday turned out to vote and put their trust in Enrique Peña Nieto. My husband is ready to write, from the hand of all Mexicans, a new history for our country, a success story for everyone, and which will recover all the values that have been lost. I am very proud to be at your side. Serve at Mexicans will be a great challenge and a great honor. With all my heart, thank you. This is one of the best nights of our lives. "
In the restive swearing her husband because of the shadow of electoral fraud, Angelica Rivera was more concerned about the outfit she would wear. Finally he decided on a dress Dolce & Gabbana gray lace. Bild newspaper published an article about her titled: "Mexico has the first most beautiful lady in the world," while Vanity Fair included in the list of first ladies best dressed, a distinction that seemed to give more prominence in the pink press in the political and social sphere.
One of the first appearances of the couple in spectacular plan took place, of course, on Televisa, the Telethon on 7 December 2012. Angelica was the first donor of the event and there confessed that her sister suffers from Turner syndrome Carito. Shortly before they had attended the awards ceremony of the Woman of the Year, on December 3, 2012, where the trajectory of Judge Carmen Alanis was recognized. On December 21 they performed at the announcement of the train Transpeninsular Merida-Yucatan Punta Venado Project, and January 21, 2013, in the national crusade against hunger in Las Margaritas, Chiapas.
In those early months, Angelica enjoyed the affection of Mexicans. It was a period of social acceptance and joy. On February 18, 2013, a sound wave of applause greeted at the concert of the Symphony Orchestra of the Army and Air Force and Navy Philharmonic Mexico. His first trip as First Lady was that same month, Costa Rica, on tour of State, accompanying her husband. The press highlighted her wardrobe and elegance events. He went on to make 21 February guard of honor the late actor Joaquin Cordero at the Palace of Fine Arts. His smile and ease in official acts drew attention to the same in the chronicles of the visit of Prime Minister of New Zealand, John Key, who at the ceremony of the first 100 days of government of Enrique Peña Nieto at the National Palace.

More than social work, Angelica Rivera was devoted to appear in official ceremonies such as the presentation of Life Insurance Heads of Family, held at Los Pinos on March 13, 2013, or the beginning of the national collection of the Red Cross. He dealt in foreign travel as his visit to the Vatican for the first ceremony of Pope Francisco on March 18. On April 4 they received as a rock star in Hong Kong, during an official tour which followed to the letter the protocol in the private meeting with Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko. Gaudy, Angelica stopped no models look great designers at official dinners with the Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, and with Rosa Leal de Perez, First Lady of Guatemala. He also participated in the national tours with her husband. She looked radiant when at the National Palace was presented the National Development Plan 2013-2018 and when he went to the Palace of Fine Arts on May 21 gala concert for the centenary of the Armed Forces, where he was applauded.
In short, in his first year as First Lady Angelica Rivera retained its popularity and was a great support to her husband, but always manejándose with discretion, without grandstanding, even in the social assistance activity that practically resigned.
She's been two steps behind him 'came to say without equivocation sociologist and historian Sara Sefchovich, who has studied first ladies since pre-Hispanic era to today.
The author says that the support of Angelica Rivera has taken place on the internet and social networks. The websites of the government of Mexico and the Presidency of the Republic, for example, have done their part to exploit his image. They included a section on the First Lady that erased most of its history, particularly having to do with the father of her three daughters, who do not even mention.
On March 6, 2013, Peña Nieto gave the appointment of honorary president of the Advisory Council of the National System for Integral Family Development (DIF). The First Lady said at the ceremony: "I am a woman who has worked 25 years formally and know the enormous effort made to find the balance and harmony between family and work. In order to listen, loud, concerns and proposals of the population, I want to visit them in each of the states and have direct communication, constructive dialogue, a creative dialogue, and thus meet the concerns and needs of mothers, fathers, children, youth and grandparents of Mexico, to find solutions for social assistance ".
On March 14, in his first event as president of the Council he elected Televisa, of course, and gave support to queretanos with disabilities in the 18 municipalities of the entity and the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center of Queretaro (CRIQ) Telethon event which it has been criticized by the committee of experts of the United Nations (UN) on the rights of persons with disabilities, to the extent that urged the government of Mexico to hand over to Telethon financial resources that the State engaged rehabilitation. Experts have pointed out that Telethon campaigns promote the stereotype that people with disabilities rely on charity. In fact, the Telethon has been under suspicion for its method of collection and the lack of transparency in the use of resources.
Unlike most first ladies, Angelica Rivera declined to take over welfare policies at the federal level. Who heads the DIF is Laura Vargas Carrillo, wife of Interior Minister, Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong. In this way Angelica broke with tradition. In a country with more than 53 million poor, welfare ceased to be a priority for the First Lady. Was Carmen Romano, wife of President Jose Lopez Portillo, who promoted the merger of the Mexican Institute for Children and Families (IMPI) with the Mexican Institution for Child Welfare (IMAN) to create the DIF in 1977. Few events of this institution that Angelica Rivera has headed; for example, in September 2013 he toured the areas affected by Hurricane Ingrid and Manuel Guerrero storm to deliver aid collected by the DIF.
Without much less political protagonist, the First Lady made a difference with other wives of presidents like Marta Sahagún or Roman Carmen Lopez Portillo, and has devoted only to "accompany" her husband. Its main communication tool was its official account on Facebook, which continued to share his public and private side as a parent.
One of his first actions was to invite the First Lady of China, Pen Liyuan, to visit Televisa. The actress does not presume his guests the great museums or archaeological sites we have in Mexico. For her the most important thing is to organize tours of the facilities Televisa San Angel. Proud, First Lady showed Liyuan Pen, who is dedicated to singing, the "dream factory" because he knew that the visitor likes Mexican telenovelas. His first stop was the forum where you want soap opera was recorded, I love you. There they greeted the actors. Then they moved the forum of the soap opera The Tempest, where Daniela Romo received them and performed a cappella a song for them. Angelica Rivera wanted the wife of Chinese President knew thoroughly Televisa telenovelas exporting more than 70 countries.
"It turns out that the first lady likes Chinese soap operas produced by the company where he worked Gull Katia D'Artigues wrote in his column in El Universal. Being so, it will not miss the opportunity to make a visit to the forums. Will it be a topic of conversation at dinner offered by the President Peña to the Chinese delegation will make summary ?, telenovela? ".
When he was six months into his new role, the First Lady thanked his Facebook page the support and love of Mexicans: "Thanks to all my friends on Facebook for your comments and good wishes, I love to read every day. In the first six months of Government, with the support of my husband, we have demonstrated our commitment to work for children, men and women from all over Mexico. We will continue with the same spirit and energy; thanks, above all, believe it is possible. "
Angelica took every pretext to spread the union alleged that exists in his family with their biological daughters and her husband. He published the photos of the presentation of his daughter Sofia Castro, also an actress, in the Intercollegiate Dance in May 2013, and also those of a theatrical presentation to courses of Alexander, son of Peña Nieto, and then images of a delivery awards in Acapulco, where he traveled with Nicole, the daughter of her husband. He came to upload videos, as one home in which he sang "Las Mañanitas" to the President on his birthday.
The transformation of actress First Lady was working him great. La Gaviota transited the shrillness and eccentricity of entertainment to the understated elegance and body language of the wife of a president. Accustomed to the spotlight long before reaching Los Pinos, his interpretation of the role of consort was turning out flawless.
THE DECLINE
 |
| The best years have already passed |
By October 2013 Angelica Rivera enjoyed great popularity and social acceptance. Your Facebook reached more than a million followers. He wrote: "Thanks a million! Thank you to all my friends on Facebook, which this week reached more than a million! ... I am very happy to be in touch with you. I thank each of your messages, comments and opinions. Reading them helps me to know what they feel and what worries them. Let's continue with this same communication, because their requests are very important to me and I assure you that we are serving. Thank you for allowing me to be near you. "
The First Lady went about their daily activities. In June 2014, the digital marketing agency Business Thinking Angelica Rivera placed at No. 3 on its list of the 50 Mexican politicians with more followers on Facebook; first was Peña Nieto, and secondly, former Secretary of Social Development Heriberto Felix Guerra.
First Lady suddenly closed his account of Facebook in May 2014, without any explanation to its hundreds of thousands of followers. Until then he had shared materials personal and family matters, in an attempt to show the human side of public figures so beloved people. Something happened…
Her husband's mistakes, corruption and other factors made the messages sent to accounts that the First Lady had open social networks were increasingly negative day. Dependence gave no information on the closure of the accounts. Angelica also closed his Twitter account @staff_Angelica and profile in Instagram with 12 thousand 337 followers, and were deleted all his posts.
His last comment on Facebook was the subject of Mother's Day: "To all the mothers who give everything for love: congratulations! Life gave me my three daughters and my husband gave me the opportunity to love and care for three children. Today I want to thank in a very special way, my mother, to whom I am eternally grateful for his guidance and example for all the love that has always given me and my brothers. My husband, for loving me and make me a woman so happy, and our six children, because I am the luckiest person to have them with me. The Pau, Sof, Ale, Fer, Nicoluz and Regis' love.
Definitely, the First Lady was not quite right in his second year. Its decline was becoming steeper. In a country where the government has become making machine poor -more than half of Mexicans living in poverty, the fact of having a First Lady in luxury, with an ostentatious lifestyle, and whose sons flaunted wealth, began to displease citizens.
While Angelica Rivera had become the First Lady of the country, some of its essence made her claim her role as an actress. Frivolity accompanied despite his efforts to be a First Lady dedicated to social work openly despised.
Media coverage around him were out of hand operators of the Presidency. Mrs. De Peña constantly offered interviews about their happiness and prosperity. The reports published in dozens of pages pictures of his lavish life.
His taste for designer clothes made every outfit that looked mean a cost of 200 thousand to one million pesos, including jewelry. In its expensive imaging equipment hairdresser, makeup artist and several specialists costumes were counted, which accompanied her international tours with her husband, sparing no expense.
The waste of the First Lady began to be obscene in a country with severe economic problems, where millions of workers are paid a daily wage of 73 pesos minimum. Expensive tastes of the First Lady were exasperating the population. So the comments that came to their accounts in social networks expressed indignation and legitimate resentment of the people.
Despite the warning signs, Angelica Rivera remained installed in his luxurious ivory tower. He did not change his attitude, much less decreased their spending on grooming and lifestyle. His daughters and daughters of Peña Nieto wore bags of 30 thousand pesos, 20,000 shoes, dresses 200000; Peña Nieto's son, Alexander, is known for his travels in luxury. The waste of the presidential family was such that people eventually reject it openly.
It was running out of affection and sympathy they felt for the Gaviota. The popular infatuation with Mexico princess, the queen of the tabloids, not even four years. It soon became villainous. In the popular imagination he was installing the elegant First Lady able to wear a dress designed by Oscar de la Renta on the night of September 15, 2014 at a cost of 83,000 pesos. Instead of choosing a suitable Mexican dress for the date, he chose a two-tone dress in pink and blue Mexican Navy mermaid cut, made of silk taffeta 6 thousand 290 dollars. The makeup and hair were in charge of their maquillista header, which accompanies international tours, Alfonso Waithsman, while the styling was Karla Guindi and Nathaly Michan, all members of his crew inseparable image.
With a frivolous and indifferent to economic and social problems of the country attitude, Angelica Rivera disenchanted people.
It was the beginning of his fall.
