People talk about immigration, but they won't talk about the corruption that actually exists between Mexico and the U.S.

To get elected in Mexico today, you have to compete like any democracy, and you don't do that by being manipulated.

Mexico doesn't deserve what has happened to us. A democratic change is urgent, a change that will permit us to stop being a loser country.

Mexico needs schools, rural development, and an independent judiciary, not high-tech weaponry.

Violence in Mexico has its origins in the lack of development and corruption.

If we accept the rule of those who think they are the bosses and lords of Mexico, nothing will change for the people on the bottom.

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.

We have a circle of corruption and impunity that is too strong.

What Mexico City cannot do and my country cannot do is to allow us to be intimidated, the authorities to be intimidated, by organized crime.

We begin the path toward defeating Mexico's real adversary, who represents authoritarianism and the worst antidemocratic practice, who represents a return to corruption as a system and impunity as conviction. That adversary is Pena Nieto and his party.
