MEXICO CITY - The president of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, criticized that in the United States the contenders to the presidency of that country compete for showing "who has the most swagger, who is the most macho, and who is the more anti-mexican".

"The U.S. does not have competitiveness"

In interview with the newscast radio Focus, the Mexican president regretted that in the neighboring country a problem "serious" exists, political and economic, and they are transferring to Mexico "their anger".
"In politics they have placed as hostages the Mexicans in U.S.. The only theme in the electoral campaign is to know "who has the most swagger, who is the most macho, and who is the more anti-mexican". Calderon said, who has just completed his first year in Government.


The leader of the conservative National Action Party (PAN) said that in the last days he is hearing "pre-global arguments", just as before he heard arguments that where "pre-colonial" which affect Mexico.
The reason why many American businessmen want to manufacture in Mexico or of any another country is because the production in the neighboring country turns out to be very expensive, according to Calderon.
"That hans nothing to do with the prosperity of Mexico. It has to do with the fact that the United States does not have competitiveness, it has to see that, by financing its adventure on the war, they are spending the money of the Americans and getting the Government into debt, and that is displacing the private investment", criticized the conservative leader.
Calderon added that in the United States the contenders to the presidency "are being mistaken in their diagnosis" and "deceitfully the internal campaigns of the parties are aiming at someone that is innocent, that is Mexico".
On the United States' economic problems that are affecting Mexico by being its main commercial associate, Calderon indicated that he expects a relaunching of the economy of the neighboring country "in the third quarter of next year".
According to the leader, the United States is "very wrong" in the economic issue due to that fact that "they are evading the problem of the lack of competitiveness of the American economy and they believe that closing their borders is going to resolve it", he concluded.
