The Pacto Por Mexico, Dec. 2, 2012- a landmark event for Mexico and its northern neighbors

08/15/2013

WSJ's Juan Montes interviews the important politicians of three major political parties who made the landmark event for Mexico happen on December 2, 2012- the Pacto por Mexico. Politicians from the three major political parties, the PAN, the PRD in the opposition and the PRI in government under president Nieto, show remarkable courage to sidestep old rivalries and differences. For PAN which faced PRI opposition on similar reform efforts, it was about foregetting revenge. For the PRD leader Zambrano who helped create a moderate left party, it was about forging a new beginning and making the initial overtures to the president. President Nieto and economist Videgaray deserve credit for grasping the significance of the PRD's proposal for the pact and working hard to make it a reality. Mexico now has the opportunity to become the most dynamic economy in the Americas after the U.S. From the pain of 15 years of stalled politics betwen the left, centre and right parties emerged a new consensus for the way forward. An exceptional piece of reporting by Montes on a landmark event for the Americas at a time when more children of Hispanic origin are born in the U.S. than of any other ethnic group- building a Mexico of opportunity and access and bridging a large part of the opportunity gap with its northern neighbors.
