Hi, guys, in my opinion it is a very interesting article. So, please, read it.
http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2014/11/mexico-pea-a-nietoprotestsdemocracy.html
1)Writing on the eve of his first meeting with President Barack Obama in Washington, Peña Nieto claimed that such reforms would “contribute to guaranteeing North American energy independence,” since “Mexico holds the fifth-largest shale gas reserve in the world, in addition to large deep-water oil reserves and a tremendous potential in renewable energy.”
Excuse me, but what does "guaranteeing North American energy independence" mean? Why does the president of the independent country talk about North American energy independence when Mexico holds the fifth-largest shale gas reserve in the world, in addition to large deep-water oil reserves and a tremendous potential in renewable energy?
It's strange, yes?
2)Obama, the U.S. military and Congress eagerly accepted Peña Nieto’s Faustian bargain. They would blindly support his presidency in exchange for quick action on energy reform.
Sure!
3)Over the last two years, both sides have loyally held up their ends of the deal. In December 2013, Peña Nieto pushed through historic reforms to Article 27 of the constitution that broke up the state monopoly over the oil industry and opened the floodgates to speculation and vast private investment by international oil giants.
Should I continue and talk about corporations, immigrants, shadow dealings and stuff like this?
