Politicians representative of different trends rejected President Enrique Peña Nieto's statements and said Mexico has enough reasons for social anger.

Yesterday, La Jornada journal published a long interview with the President, who said there is no reason for what he called "social bad mood".

Leader of the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) Agustín Basave told the same journal that Peña Nieto "fails to understand that the issue of social mood is not a collective hormonal problem, but a discomfort due to corruption and authoritarianism."

Federal deputy for the National Action Party Cecilia Romero, said the President lives in another reality. What he does not see is the anger generated by the persisting inequality in the country and essential issues like the fight against corruption are still pending, she said.

The same unrest, she said, is reflected in electoral processes, and especially in the states in which they use the government structure to benefit the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), she added.
