Urzua said foreign investors were not
very worried about the airport, noting that its major investors are Mexican.
Finance Minister Carlos Urzua added that soon another 60 federally owned planes
and 70 helicopters will be auctioned off.
Finance Minister Carlos Urzua said Sunday that Mexico will also
sell 60 smaller planes and 70 helicopters now in use by the federal government.
Urzua had harsh words for Pemex, saying
it was neither competitive nor productive enough and adding that its trade union is"an icon of corruption.".
To eliminate public sector waste and corruption, Urzua said the Lopez Obrador administration would
centralize all purchasing of goods and services in the federal government.
In office, Urzua said Lopez Obrador's government would
aim to run a federal budget that was"more or less" in balance, once interest payments on debt were stripped out.
Urzua, who served as Mexico City's finance minister for part of Lopez Obrador's 2000-2005 mayoralty of the capital, added that
he was"sure that the great majority of the contracts awarded" had not been tainted by corruption.
