translated from Spanish: Discards Coparmex conflict with government

Mexico City.- Gustavo de Hoyos, president of Coparmex, refused to have a “married” lawsuit with the administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador.After attending the announcement of the increase to the minimum wage, said that he recognized the successes of the Government and points out its failures, without being an uncompromising opponent.” We have never had a conflict, we believe that in democracy it can be aconperable and it can be dissented, it is not difficult for us to recognize and celebrate when there is good public policy, so we have done in the past and we will do so, just as when we have to question and point out it we will continue to do so.
There are neither personal conflicts nor married lawsuits here, we are not fundamentalist opponents, nor are we systematic applause, every decision on its own merits, he said in an interview.

I appreciate the trust of the 65 Business Centres of @Coparmex throughout the country, which unanimously and with the recommendation of all the former Presidents of the Confederation, nominated me and elected me as National President by 2020. #SoyCoparmex pic.twitter.com/HaxzwhRKdO — Gustavo de Hoyos W (@gdehoyoswalther)

De Hoyos celebrated that President López Obrador fulfilled his campaign commitment to raise the minimum wage, but stressed that the main effort is of the entrepreneurs.” It’s great news because the fact that we have a substantial increase, among other things, is going to increase domestic consumption.” There is a lot of effort (of the patterns). Although it is advertised at an official event, the payers are the patterns, so we celebrate that we are here together government, workers and employers, but this increase has behind it the effort that we have to make the patterns,” he clarified.
