#4 To make matters worse, Pemex has been run more in the interests of its workers and their trade unions than of the Mexican people, its notional owners.

#7 Cardenas' nationalization of the foreign dominated oil fields is an almost holy event in Mexican history (when written and read by the Mexican people). There is a yearly holiday for this (sacred) event. Religions view (most) change(s) as heresey. That Pemex is oriented first toward workers' benefits is historically (in Mexico) considered a plus not a minus. The Mexican President who insists upon a transition from oil-field nationalization will be called a "neo-liberal" and traitor to the Revolution...for starters.
