An interview with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto - The Washington Post
Keywords:
Mexico's president Enrique Pena Nieto describes his plans for increasing economic growth in an interview with Lally Weymouth. He looks back at the changes made through the Pacto de Mexico in energy, education and telecommunications, and in other areas. Changes made will allow political parties to form coalitions after 2018 following a presidential election, to form a majority in the legislature so that new legislation can be passed. A new criminal code for the entire country will override a patchwork of laws in different states. Economic growth is a high priority after disappointing 2.6% growth in the last 3 years, with infrastructure projects planned- new airport for Mexico City, doubling port capacity, new rail lines and high speed rail line Mexico City to Queretaro.

The Pacto de Mexico agreement between major poltical parties enabled Nieto to make changes in energy, and telecommunciations fields to reduce monopolies and high prices. Teachers will now be evaluated for their skills and education in teaching to improve a failing K-12 public education system.

The precarious nature of some Mexicans entry into the middle class
01/28/2013
Mexico's middle class is growing. Yet many Mexicans not employed in the formal economy lack worker protections, health insurance, social security and have small savings. This means the loss of a job or some other economic mishap can quicky change things.

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.

Mexico's history from the period of nationalization by Cardenas in 1938 and changes to the constitution under president Nieto in 2013
08/13/2013
Pena Nieto's effort to navigate the difficult waters of Mexican politics and public sentiment to modernize Pemex operations with technology from major oil companies. The changes to the constitution requiring a two thirds majority is made possible by prior agreement with the opposition PAN party. A majority of public opinion, about 65% according to some polls, is opposed to the changes. Passage is made easier by making agreements similiar to Malaysia, Iraq and other countries, with Mexico not giving ownership to foreign oil companies, only paying for a portion of the oil in production sharing agreements.

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.
