Without economic growth and job creation in Mexico, we won't be able to confront the migratory phenomenon.

I should say many things. Mexico has been one of the losers of the 20th century. We tried many different alternatives to development and unfortunately we have 40 percent of the population poor; we have a per capita income that is extremely low.

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

Mexico cannot put up with this scenario of death and kidnapping.

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.

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

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.

In the Mexico we want, there is no room for corruption, for cover-ups, and least of all for impunity.

Rather than improving the wealth of their own nation, the Mexican government encourages its poor to come to the U.S. and send money home.

There are a great number of Mexicans who live every day worried about the lack of employment and opportunities. Those conditions also damage the image of Mexico abroad, and that is the Mexico that must be transformed.
