QUERÉTARO, Querétaro – Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) presidential candidate Enrique Peña Nieto thanked Vincente Fox, “who knows what he’s talking about,” for his support and his prediction that the PRI candidate will be the next president of the country. “Welcome, and thank you for this and other doses of sympathy and support, which is exactly what I want to achieve and win with in this campaign,” said Peña Nieto on Thursday.

Former president Vincente Fox said early this week that although his heart was with his friend, National Action Party (PAN) candidate Josefina Vázquez Mota, only a miracle would allow her to win the election, and predicted victory for Peña Nieto.

In a press conference after meeting with aerospace business leaders, Peña Nieto said that Vincente Fox knows his business.

About 500 hundred aerospace industry business leaders, workers, and students attended the event, where Peña Nieto promised to rebuild the national economy, which has, in the last decade, grown more slowly than at any point in the last 70 years.

He signed a promise to create a Consulting Board for the Aerospace Industry, a National Committee, and, finally, a Research Center for aerospace in the state of Querétaro. The government, as well as more than 200 aerospace and related businesses would participate in the Consulting Board, drafting public policy geared towards aerospace growth.

He added that the National Committee of the Aerospace Industry would fulfill his promise to integrate this industry and the government.

Querétaro, he said, is a very important state for the aerospace industry.
