making i guess, living with a cold, it will be the best solution. and the easiest way. i definitely it's going to follow mainland, right, because it doesn't have any other often. so i mean when one to continue to look down them has to walk down for now, there is little that hong kong 7500000 residents can do. but wait and hope that case numbers begin to fall as soon as possible. the president of mexico says he wants a pause in relations with spain, andreas man, while lopez over a door, made the comments as he addressed concerns over his plans to strengthen state control of the mexican energy market. left wing leaders as spanish and other foreign companies have benefited from favourable deals with previous mexican governments. those animals, the impulse, a pause is to give ourselves time to respect each other and for them not to see us

as a land of conquest. we do want to have good relations with all government soul, with all the peoples of the world, but we don't want to be robbed. okay. there is no roving get more now from the journalist, javier garcia, who joins us from the mexican city of taut on of your thanks very much for having us. what exactly has provoked president abra door into making this statement? because this came out of the plea and then we're also baffled a little bit about the concept of us. there is no such thing in international nations on people medical relations to you know, all that's just a relationship. what does that even mean? either have it or you don't. so it's kind of confusing by the mexican prison we use is term or is it like a break up or something?

but it has to do with this. i have resentment that precedent. but this overall has had with spain, dating back to about 3 years in the start of his government. when he sent the letter to the spanish government demanding an apology from spain for the conflict of mexico that happened 500 years ago. and the spanish government never actually responded to that. so la pezora, laura has made spain on target a frequent criticism at his warnings press conference. and one of the handles that he uses for those criticisms. what is the fact that spain has a lot of investment in the energy sector in the electricity sector, which is a rug or as try to reform ah, by giving the mexican government that makes it state more control over the distribution of our and production of our electricity, that's what he means about,

you know, spanish companies robbing mexico because he has, is this course about spanish companies getting very advantageous contracts from previous governments for the production and sale of i'm of electricity. ah, but what, what is not explained by lopez over to that is why spain, why only spain, when there are other countries, the united states, for example, the united kingdom, and also have contracts in the energy sector and is not railing against them. so it's a bit baffling that you would spend, which by the way, is the 2nd largest source of foreign direct investment in mexico, just out of the united states. it against spain. accounts for about 12 percent of foreign investment in mexico. r i journalist javier garcia with a very thorough assessment. thanks very much for joining us. thank you for having
