Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said in an interview with EFE that, although his position is against legalization, his administration is "very open" to a debate at the hemispheric level on the consumption and trafficking of illegal drugs.

Peña Nieto, who took office last December, also said that he had decided not to give up in the fight against violence in Mexico and to seal political pacts with the opposition that will facilitate governability and growth.

The Mexican president, who granted the interview to Efe in Panama, where he attended the Ibero-American Summit, said he wanted to put a new stamp on and redefine the scope of that regular forum.
