Video: Mexican public give their view on oil reform

| 0

I headed down to Mexico City's Zocalo on Sunday to get some video for the Los Angeles Times.

There was a slow but steady flow of Mexicans arriving to register their view on the current debate in Mexico over whether to allow private investment into the state-owned oil company, Pemex.

The left-leaning opposition party the PRD has arranged for a Consulta Publica (public consultation) this month, putting two questions to the people concerning the future of Pemex.

Oil is a touchy subject here in Mexico, where its ownership by the people of Mexico is written into the country's constitution.

This video went with this Los Angeles Times report.

What do you think?
