>> i do think on the part of mr. lopez obrador team, there's a very clear understanding of the importance of keeping economics fundamental. i do believe that. i think that's important. the second point that i would make is that, there's some expression that you don't bite trust, you rent trust. markets are very cheap. they are demanding. therefore, we must continue, i think, mexico should continue to be very careful about positioning itself as place attractive to financial investment and foreign direct investment. we are an open economy. uncertainty about nafta is there. it will continue to be there at some level. i will emphasize that the first reaction that we've seen from mexico's government elect are positive. i think -- that's good. i do expect that the transition team will be engaged with institutional investors. we should always be careful with that. we had over the last decade, not very good experiences with some microeconomics in mexico. let me close by saying something that's important. it took at least three dec

saw some public expressions on the part of mr. lopez obrador referring and recognizing the importance of nafta.tional trade, and also, i think his interest in wrapping up a new nafta 2.0 as soon as possible. we, as it has been made very clear, we, meaning the pena nieto administration have been clear about it. we think it's in the best interest of the three countries to wrap up a negotiation on nafta 2.0 as soon as possible. i think that all the countries have other challenges and it's certainly a very complex geopolitical environment and international trade environment. i think that the interest of mexico, the united states, and canada will be served if we can get to a nafta 2.0 that is balanced, acceptable, and positive for the three countries. we are not there yet obviously. as you know, we started formal negotiations in august of last year. the three parties have been somewhat criticize for the fact that we have been delaying a result. the first time we wanted to wrap up by december. that didn't happen. then we wanted to wrap up by

i think by and large, the candidates including mr. lopez obrador, were more or less in the same place with the united states during the campaign. i think all of them were rather careful. i think they recognize the importance of the relationship. i did not see in any way and anti-american sentiment within the campaign. i think that's also positive. i am personally very pleased about the fact that we have -- if i may use this expression -- that gringo bashing was used to gain some political points. there's too much at stake for the u.s.-mexico bilateral relationship. as you know, mr. lopez obrador has already spoken with president trump. they have crossed their first impressions about the relationship. from what i know that conversation was respectful, constructive, and that's very important. that's good. i think we can expect and assume that the transition team will be in contact with both the mexican government and the u.s. government with respect to the u.s.-mexico bilateral agenda. i will just mention as an introduction that it's no secre

--ion tea andm of r to of mr. lopez obrado address the challenges that mexico does have, and i think that's very positive. occasions, one of the transitions was very much marred by post-electoral debate and complications. this does not seem to be the case right now. as i mentioned, everybody has recognized the result. i think that allows mexico to make use of this five-month and i think that's positive. walter: terrific. does theask -- president elect of mexico have a twitter feed? can we follow him? [laughter] realmay be where the diplomatic action starts to take place. one thing that has surprised some observers in the u.s. is a sense that actually on nafta, the new team and the old team don't seem to be that far apart. there's a lot of continuity in the position. amb. gutierrez fernandez: i would go a step farther. just this morning, i read some paper clippings on the part of the key negotiator on the part of mr. lopez obrador expressing support to what has been mexico's government doing in part of the negotiation. t

on sunday mexican voters elected mr. lopez obrador, the country's new president and landslide and they have promised to address the rising violence in mexico, corruption and deep inequality. he'll be sworn in on december 1st. among other policy proposals, he has proposed to increase subsidies to those less fortunate in mexico and review past policy that opened mexico's energy sector to private investment. while it may come as a surprise to some americans, he did not campaign on issues related to the united states or president trump. instead focusing on domestic issues. nonetheless, u.s. and mexico remain deeply intertwined. we are eager to hear the current mexican ambassador's thoughts on border security, nafta, other trade topics and what mexicans and their neighbors to the north can expect with the new president. let me introduce the ambassador for mexico, his excellency gutierrez fernandez. he became mexico's ambassador in early -- in early 2017. he served as managing director for the north american development bank in san

i requested mr. lopez to go there yesterday. i only received this so we could check every one of them, whatever their concerns is. he happened to be there yesterday. i said i rescheduled because i was waiting for the electrical contractor who was rescheduling on me and part of the complaint was his job. i hired him thinking he is a licensed contractor and he did the work with permit and stuff and i'm doing my best. i have a $3500 mortgage every month and all of this work involves a lot of money. and if i do the full blast i could lose my house. i'm begging the commission. i'm trying my best. i would like to talk personally after the hearing, make an appointment with ms. rosemary to tell her what my concerns are and go one-by-one. some of these i don't know, like title 24 and the stuff to the garage and there's no mold and mildew in my house. i would like to talk, they could even go to my house. >> yes. and they were scheduled to do that 3-4 times already. you cancelled. so i appreciate that. i think it will happen anyway. >> i s

as i've already mentioned so it's going to be interesting to see how those two get along together mr lopez obrador steam has also responded to mr mr trump saying that he looks forward to working together as well as also the left wing bloc of countries in latin america that have got in touch with mr lopez obrador also by a twitter the president of venezuela nicolas maduro the president of bolivia ever more rallies saying they're looking forward to working with him as well that's a shrinking bloc in latin america to have to see if mr lopez obrador would want to be involved with them how closely he wants to be tied with them gentlemen thank you very much. let's run up to mexico's election was plagued by violence but what impact did it have on the vote joining us now in mexico city is journalist you're angry who's author of the book gangs to warlords drug dollars killing fields and the new politics of latin. thanks very much for being with us or very often we think about ten drug cartels when we think about mexico what what kind of in inference interference would they have had in the whole ele

as far as mr lopez 0brador is concerned, his number one priority is to create jobs in mexico.tion pledge. it was in part for him to combat the crime and many of the problems mexico is suffering from at the moment, crucial is creating jobs. he has talked to the american president about border security and the possibility of some sort of development deal on a trade deal, between the two countries. we can see why there is some potential, some synergy between this two, if president trump and helping you make silly to create jobs, and president trump and helping you make silly to createjobs, and bear in mind that people move from mexico to the united states in search of better life, jobs, and donald trump wa nts fewer better life, jobs, and donald trump wants fewer migrants, few immigrants, you can see the basis for some sort of deal and some sort of agreement between these two leaders. however, you have got to say, and look at the history between them as well, certainly as far as mr lopez 0brador has been concern over the past weeks and months of his accusing donald trump of havin

his closest rivals have both admitted defeat and congratulated mr lopez obrador on his victory.ction comes at a time of disillusionment at unchecked corruption, violence and poverty. so, what challenges will the new leader — best known as amlo — face? the good news is mexico's economy grew by 2.4% in 2017, with similar growth rates predicted for this year. but the country faces several interlinked problems. the biggest is mexico's massive violent crime rate, with over 29,000 murders in 2017 alone. aside from the terrible human cost, this statistic also carries an economic weight — the mexico peace index put the cost of the violence at us$249 billion in 2017 — around 21% of mexico's gdp. much of the violence stems from drug trafficking, with rival cartels vying to control the flow of drugs into the united states. it's lead to widespread corruption, with transparency international ranking mexico 135th on an index of 180 countries in 2017. mexico also has high levels of poverty. recent figures from coneval, who measure poverty in mexico, say 43.6% of the population — or 53 million

other one was corruption is increasingly being exposed insane then and at the president elect now mr lopez obrador he said that the main way that he's going to tackle corruption has been through his own example and that will show the political class around him how to do this what do you think of that is that a tactic he thinks going to work well political will and political leadership are always important in terms of reform in terms of corruption the control of corruption in a country but in a country of the complexity of this one this is this is an economy of the size of the no we have two on the stand that we have thirty two states more than two thousand four hundred fifty minutes these normal three branches of government controlling a systemic problem like these one will require more than political will and political leadership it requires a coordinated one. with other governors with other political entities so you can actually provide results and there will be very important issues that you have corruption that comes from a growth it one of the most relevant cases are in that campaign

mr. lopez obrador and his party won in every state eept one. in contrast from his party has come from the most powerful institution in the untry to a minor power in congress. given the overwhelming evidence that voters were repelled by the it loils lost. theyneed something unique to rebuild this time. will grant, bbc news. laura: former u.s. president barack obama has been urging for toomen into politics counter the strongmen of the world. speaking in south africa, he cited the negative actions ofnd men arhe world, and urged african women to get involved. mr. obama: men have been getting on my nerves lately.

i started by asking him what more we knew about mr lopez obrador.as being the outsider, being very different from the other politicians, but of course, he's the oldest and most established politician in the race this time around. he's been around for a long time. he is a career professional politician. but he has mounted two presidential campaigns before, both of which were unsuccessful, narrowly missing out in 2006 by half a percentage point from the man who won, felipe calderon, and then in 2012 losing out to the current president of mexico, enrique pena nieto. but throughout all of this period, people often say he has been campaigning for the presidency for 18 years. throughout this period, he has maintained that he wants to change mexico. he was to get rid of what he calls the power mafia, the people who really control the country, big business and government working together. he wants to make this a kinder and more just society. twice, that message has not really landed with the electorate, but this time around it seems as though he will be suc

mr lopez obrador‘s win is largely because he promised to tackle the ingrained corruption and violencehopeful he can begin to redress the balance in one of the most unequal societies in the americas. it is a daunting task ahead, but for now his supporters are delirious with joy. he and his supporters have decimated the two main parties in mexico and in the process completely redrawn the political map of the country. and willjoins us live from mexico city. a comfortable victory for the new president but some tough challenges — not lleast relations with donald trump's white house. that's right, huge challenges 5 both at home and abroad. domestically his main idea is he wants to unpick and break this corruption problem that exists in mexico, sort of split the close relationship between state institutions in various parts and the drug cartels and thinking local mayors and police officers in many parts who often are part of drug cartels. that is going to be very difficult. as you point out, internationally he is going to have to work with donald trump at a time when relationships are probab

during the campaign, mr lopez obrador was fiercely critical of donald trump.r attack. here's one us—mexico relations expert on how this could shape up. overall we will see a different relationship between president trump and andres manuel lopez obrador, and he has been slightly silent in the face of taunts from the president of the united states. amlo is more confrontational, though, this will appeal to his base. part of his base would like the next mexican president to stand up to the president of the united states and so president of the united states and so there will be a change of rhetoric. i spoke to the bbc‘s katty kay from mexico city a short time ago, and began by asking her how the new president will approach the issue of central and south americans heading north across the us border. that is one of the questions that many millions of mexicans who voted for andres manuel lopez obrador are asking themselves because this was a politician who promised including being tougher against the united states, and cutting down on corruption and getting rid of vi
