"The most unfortunate of all this is that by asking for more information, I've discovered that the suspension of the transmission of my contributions was not a unilateral decision by the company over which you preside in order to 'look good' he whom you hold to be ‘president-elect’ but an obedient response to an explicit request made ​​by people close to the Peña Nieto team."
