Describe Mexico in one word.

Mexicans

What do you say when you talk about Mexico?

Mexico is a place of contrasts. It is governed by people who got sick of power and forgot the true meaning of public service. A place with a strong pre-Hispanic history that has to recognize its heritage to be able to move forward. 

If not Mexico, where? Or: Why Mexico?  

I like here because this is the place where I was born. If I weren´t here I would miss a lot of things, but I don’t close my mind to the possibility of living in another place with more opportunities and healthier governments.  

Which national icon most inspires you and why? 

The Nigromante. He was a journalist that was put in jail twice for saying what he thought. He ended up changing the introduction of the constitution, because he said that the beginning of it “by the power that god gave us…”  is a lie.

Greatest Mexican novel?

Describe the perfect Mexican meal.

Stuffed chili with cheese, rice and fresh water.

What makes a country great?

It’s people.

What is Mexico´s greatest challenge?

Keep spirits up and unite to return power to ordinary Mexicans without losing stability.
