There have been no voices against the structural reforms that I have proposed, especially the energy reform.
Mexico holds the fifth-largest shale gas reserve in the world, in addition to large deep-water oil reserves and a tremendous potential in renewable energy.
In terms of the espionage, this is something I have talked to President Obama about. We don't want it to mar the relationship between Mexico and the United States. But it is unacceptable for a country to practice such espionage, especially if there is a good relationship with the other country.
I'm not driving to be a popular president.
The route of expropriation, and especially in energy matters, is not what most promotes investment or generates greater confidence.
Do not have any doubt that I will apply the law over whoever is responsible for not complying with the law.
I have publicly talked about Mexico's need to open ourselves up to the participation of the private sector in the energy sector, however this doesn't mean privatizing state-run companies.
I will be the government of increasing economic growth and creating jobs. Take it from me that that's the main issue.
Once every 12 years there is a unique opportunity to reinforce the bonds between Mexico and the United States, when our presidential election cycles coincide.
Politics is an instrument that can transform society.
I plan to open Mexico's energy sector to national and foreign private investment.
I will run an open government that speaks with honesty, seeks opinion, listens to its citizens.
The closeness between the United States and Mexico is more than just a relationship between two governments.
Mexico has not achieved the advances that the population demands or deserves.
