José González Morfín, vice president of the Chamber of Deputies and member of the opposition National Action Party (PAN), said on Sunday that, with the recent passage of the energy reform, the federal government will no longer be able to offer any excuses for the lack of economic development in Mexico.
González Morfín said that Congress has done its part to ensure economic growth by passing the reform, adding that now it’s the job of the Enrique Peña Nieto administration to ensure that these changes have an effect. He added that he’s worried that the intense publicity campaign launched by the federal government to convince people about the benefits of the reform, primarily advertising government expectations of a drop in gas prices, will create unrealistic expectations among citizens.
“Nobody can claim these changes as unilaterally theirs nor paint a picture of a future full of promises that won’t be seen in the short term,” he said. “On the contrary, it has to be everyone’s responsibility to promote the development of Mexico under this new legal framework and work to achieve good results”
He went on to say that the Peña Nieto administration cannot complain of not having the ideal conditions for economic growth and the transformation of Mexico, as the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) has the support of opposition parties in congress — something that he said the PAN lacked when it ruled Mexico between 2000 and 2012.
