This surely will complicate Calderón's dealings with the public-sector unions and with sensitive symbols like the national oil company, Pemex, which desperately needs foreign investment, now outlawed.

Not only did he have a plan to reduce these pressures, Beazley said, but when formulating policies, his Cabinet would consider their likely impact on families in terms of time as well as money.
