Alfonso Cuarón has called on Mexican citizens, on the media, on Congress and even on the President himself to interrogate and debate the energy reforms proposed by Enrique Peña Nieto. In an interview with Javier Poza, the Mexican filmmaker emphasized that the ten questions he sent to Peña Nieto were not an act of defiance but an expression of doubts running through the population. He highlighted, however, that it was up to the Mexican people themselves to continue the debate.
Alfonso Cuarón says that the questions he posed to Enrique Peña Nieto "were not in the least bit a challenge - I think the letter is very clear, there is no challenge implied. What I do believe, and I will continue to say it, is that I already said what I needed to say, now it is up to the citizens, to the media, to the President and to Congress to continue the debate if they think it's relevant." Cuarón also emphasized that the questions "are the doubts of a considerable part of the population, but I am not spokesman for everyone."
Alfonso Cuarón continued saying, "I can talk about this, I think that here, once again, it is up to you, the citizens, the President and the Congress to continue the debate or not, depending on what has and what doesn't have relevance. I could have published a more personal letter, but I felt that my worries weren't just mine, but rather they were shared by a good part of the public...If this helped to create a dialog, it makes me very happy...there are people that need to learn how to listen and people that need to learn how to stand up."
