Mexico has never been anybody's backyard.

I am a regular writer in Mexico, and I always tell the truth in my writings.

Mexico is intensely affected by all kinds of things that are shipped into this country from the United States.

The understanding that the political and intellectual class of the United States has of Mexico is a country whose position is that of a back yard.

Any Mexican, would recognise that Mexico was abused, undervalued and downgraded in international circles, most of all by the United States.

I was never the diplomatic diplomat.
