The future of Mexico’s economy and the credibility of Claudia Sheinbaum’s government lies almost entirely on how she deals with Pemex, Mexico’s State-run oil company. This is part two of a two part series on Pemex. If you haven’t listened to part one, here it is! In this episode of Mexico: The Podcast, Tavo and Alex sally forth to discuss where the Pemex crisis stands now and what dark (or even promising) paths it could take the whole country down.
