MEXICO CITY, Mar 19, 2004 (El Economista/Corporate Mexico by Internet Securities, Inc. via COMTEX) -- The National Action Party (PAN) has urged the opposition in Congress to respond with actions to the call by Petroleos de Mexico (Pemex) to carry out the constitutional reforms to allow the modernization of the sector.
The Institutional Revolution Party (PRI) blamed Vicente Fox's government of wanting to weaken the State-owned company "to show its inefficiency and justify its privatization." PAN Deputy Francisco Diez Salazar said that for Pemex to increase its competitivity it must attract capital, "which must not be interpreted as its privatization."
Cuauhtemoc Cardenas Solorzano, the national leader of Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), said that Fox has evaded the State and strategic nature of Pemex in his official speeches and warned that the PRD would defend the Pemex Workers Union from the attacks of the federal government.
Diez Salazar said that the call by Pemex authorities must be listened to "because with each passing day, Pemex loses capital and Mexican companies lose competitivity because energy products do not have competitive prices."
