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.
Mexico has acquired unique experience during its integration into global value chains, especially in the automotive industry.
Whenever there are some who have more opportunities than others, this feeds corruption.
Mexico has proven by now that it's a strong electoral democracy. Now we have to build a democracy that produces better results; if not, then you get a democracy of disenchantment.
In a democratic society, we politicians have to accept criticism, especially when it is founded.
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.
I will run an open government that speaks with honesty, seeks opinion, listens to its citizens.
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.
Without better economic opportunity, you can't have better public security and vice versa.
U.S. politicians are increasingly recognizing the relevance of the Hispanic vote in U.S. politics.
