On December 3, 2011, at the Guadalajara International Book Fair, Enrique Peña Nieto, then seeking the presidency, was asked to name three books that had marked his life. He mixed up titles and authors. He attributed La silla del águila to Enrique Krauze. Its author is Carlos Fuentes. He corrected himself on Twitter, and he was a popular topic on social media for days.
On October 16, 2001, at the International Congress of the Spanish Language in Valladolid, President Vicente Fox named the Argentine writer as “Jorge Luis Borgues.” The slip still appears on lists of presidential blunders.
