3:12 pm
and don't use of it on head of the citrus growers in the mexican state of veracruz recalls how nafta's promises turned sour. i moved from boys you mean to eliminate all. your solos at the hands of your book as moments. really much as mine each one of the two members of the thirty minute c.s.u. movement of his you know but i'm a book of months. but i'm just a month. now after inflicted two blows to mexico's farmers. cheap subsidized u.s. produce flooding the market. and the rise of the supermarkets paying rock bottom prices to mexican farmers. the outcome a handful of growers controlling production and a loss of more than two million agricultural jobs. will give me get out
3:13 pm
a lot. more that may well us who lives want to get us real good tell us without this is what i mean for quarter of the most real money goes wrong or kept pork in what you are a million example. of the stance here. for those who remain and still work the land like orange grove dearest alive has become a struggle for survival. love and love another dollar or mercy or the heart of any fish they are all here on this part of the daughters that are an environment there that are there no problem. with darkness while most indian woman yes you are on that are you not me is not it was your this said. does your mother must. your cover more choice on vine your arse on locus of denial of and none of our guns about other things are. ok thought the ample and it
3:14 pm
. was a. dollar a day and one of those are porous. and innocent little by the north are. now after has widened the gap between rich and poor. for most mexicans free trade with foreign companies has come at a heavy price. the prospect of more of the same under the new energy reforms looks like history repeating itself. this country has been right many times every night saddam has in mind the role that the spaniards sprain have here and the americans and other foreign businesspeople who have come here are perceived as being potential rapist in mind of the average mexican citizen you need to keep that in my oil is the symbol of that potential right. mexico's president and
3:15 pm
be giving and yet there is waiting a publicity campaign claiming his reforms will usher in a new era of prosperity. is that reform represent the level of muslim this will put to me that this but i mean he could. use separate channel system on a board to be out. secure and simple zimmy listen we will simply else equal nikolay saleratus she gave almost like i was fed a form. of the loose evil guys who went behind it but it was for peace and this consequence here mr campbell proceed a mass ah but i must tell him into space yes. and there's something for the multinational companies to. share in the profit bonanza from sixty billion barrels of mexican oil. it's a black gold rush that has companies beating a path to the door of consulting firms like control risks it's the last frontier

3:17 pm
still make from the reforms mexican economics and justice expert in the guy that was goglia doubts that ordinary mexicans will get a share of the spoils and you need to make sure that all this investment and all the returns from those investments to some degree will provide. a remedy to those sectors within mexico that have never experienced any benefits from the after . cultural sector or the small farmer but i haven't seen any kind of government plan or strategy indicating that they will go that way so far considering the precedence of mexico's opening to the world i would say that the privatization of the oil sector in the hands of all your police will bring more corruption more unequal distribution of income and more social instability. but corruption isn't always considered a bad thing by big business. where there's corruption there's no accountability.

3:55 pm
deals. if you need them and visible and these are less. anybody. who's godly i believe this confidence is misplaced. you need to have a much more sustainable proposal in place than the one that we see here the truth is that any foreign oil company that comes here under the new framework will in her . the nightmares you have right now taking place. they will not go away. cumin security nightmare is literally out of control and we don't see an end in sight. farmers are powerless to resist either the companies or the cartels this land of cattle and cowboys could be transformed into a dystopia of oil and organized crime.
