Mexican President Felipe Calderon named his fourth interior minister in as many years, appointing Jose Francisco Blake Mora to help lead the country’s security efforts amid a rising death-toll in the war on drug cartels.

Calderon also named Bruno Ferrari, who headed the investment promotion authority known as Promexico, to replace Gerardo Ruiz Mateos as economy minister. Ruiz Mateos will return to the president’s office to be chief of staff, a position he held before being named minister in 2008.
