August 8, 2008 In a major rebuke to the Mexican government’s integrationist plans, on July 27th over 80 percent of voters rejected President Calderon’s plans for Mexico’s nationalized energy sector. This vote which brought out large numbers of people is significant. It demonstrates a clear opposition to the market-based energy integration between Mexico, the U.S. and Canada being pursued by the North American Energy Working Group (NAEWG) under the auspices of the secretive Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). Key components of NAEWG’s work includes supporting more privatization along with harmonization of regulations (potentially to the detriment of social and environmental priorities) and less public-control, more market (or corporate) control of oil and gas imports and exports.
