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.

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.
