MEXICO CITY – New Alliance (Panal) presidential candidate Gabriel Quadri said, “Tax revenues are small and money is misused in Mexico,” proposing that elementary and middle school students be taught finance, to make them aware of demagogues and populists that try to deceive the public during election periods.

Creating a financial culture in elementary, middle and high schools, “would stop left-wing demagogy and populism,” he said, while meeting with members of the Mexican Institute of Finance Executives (IMEF) on Thursday.

“It would be an important step for the IMEF and the Public Education Secretariat (SEP) to offer classes on micro and macro economics so that the public can understand what is happening in the country,” he said.

He suggested that the IMEF review public expenditure, “to watch over every peso that is spent on the federal, state and municipal levels.”

Quadri said that to end underdevelopment corruption needs to be fought in all areas, and suggested stamping out monopolies, giving autonomy to the Secretariat of Public Affairs and the federal Auditor General.

“The current customs situation is a source of infinite corruption,” he said.
