What did Carlos Slim say?
During a dialogue held yesterday with the outgoing president of the Business Coordinating Council (CCE), Carlos Slim asserted that disunity and ideological conflicts are absurd and are stagnating the country.
The owner of Grupo Carso ruled that it is “foolish” to have ideological differences, but instead businessmen should seek national unity and respect a democratically elected government.
“When a government is democratically elected, it must be respected. Having capricious or ideological conflicts is nonsense. If what the cameras are going to do is confrontation for the sake of confrontation because ideologically the one who won is not to our liking, it is nonsense. We have to seek national unity,” insisted Slim Helú.
The billionaire lamented that Mexico has missed opportunities for growth, as well as to combat poverty and corruption. “It’s been repetitive, I’ve lived it, that’s very sad that it happens to us,” he said.
Carlos Slim stressed that the country currently has a great opportunity, which does not fall on politicians, but on businessmen.
