There have been no voices against the structural reforms that I have proposed, especially the energy reform.
The coalition is a model that has no place in a presidential regime such as in Mexico. It fits in parliamentary models, but Mexico has a presidential regime.
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.
I think a good relationship that Mexico could maintain with the United States and vice versa should be based on trust, on opening - openness and constant dialogue that would allow us essentially to define, share objectives and to work towards those so as to avoid activities which are not known to the other government.
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.
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.
