Mexico President-Elect Begins Transition |
2006-09-07 |
![]() The conservative former energy secretary discussed the 2007 budget and the logistics of the transition with the man he will replace, President Vicente Fox. He continued to call for unity in a nation torn by a bitter presidential campaign and an even nastier postelection fight. Calderon said he would consider including key leaders from opposition parties in his Cabinet, and would focus on creating jobs, reducing poverty and stopping a rise in crime. ``I am going to be a president for everyone, without making distinctions. A president driven by fairness and equality,'' he said. ``That's my job, regardless of whomever someone voted for.'' |
