MEXICO: Pemex reform runs into problems
President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa's key reform, to the state oil
monopoly, Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex), is reaching a decisive phase. Congress
has been debating the proposal and on 27 July the leftwing opposition is
organising non-official referendums on the government's plans in cities and
states it controls. On 9 July, Calderón discussed the reform with his Brazilian
peer Lula da Silva at the G8 meeting in Japan.
