Mexico has lost an icon whose work has transcended generations and borders.

My government will continue mounting a real fight against the trafficking of marijuana and all other drugs.

For the Mexican people, for the Mexican government, the very good relationship with the United States of America is, of course, essential.

I will maintain the presence of a Mexican Army, and the Navy and police in the states of the Mexican Republic, where the problem of crime has increased.

I'm opposed to legalizing marijuana because it acts as a gateway drug.

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

We must fight inequality and poverty if we want to re-establish peace and security. Seven million Mexicans live in extreme poverty, which is why I have launched a crusade against hunger. We also have to improve our educational system and stimulate economic growth.
