Keywords:
Felipe Calderon is President of Mexico till Dec. 1, 2012, when Enrique Pena Nieto takes office. He describes the priorities for the next administration at the Mexican cultural center in Washington D.C. The first is to allow foreign investment in Mexico's oil industry. His efforts to do this were watered down in Mexico's Congress. The renewal of the ban on assault weapons in the U.S. is another priority, as 80% of the 150,000 weapons confiscated by Mexican law enforcement were bought in U.S. gun shops. Calderon's says he worked hard in his term of office to make Mexico "a rule-of-law state."

The challenges facing Calderon as he tries to reshape the economy of Mexico.
05/22/2006
The Mexican economy is expected to see a GDP decline of nearly 7% in 2009. With the serious downturn in the auto industry and in other industries, serious problems with monopolistic firms and high prices in the telecom sector, underinvestment in the oil sector, and the impact of the war on drug cartels, one expert says its surprising that Calderon is still fighting all these battles.

Mexico's changes to its constitution and oil law that allow foreign oil companies to compete with Pemex in 2013
10/01/2012

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
