At last month’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Mexico's TV tycoon Ricardo Salinas Pliego urged a privatization of Pemex.

Billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego, who controls the country’s No. 2 television broadcaster, TV Azteca SAB (AZTECA.MX), said he wants Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex), the state- run oil and gas monopoly with total assets of $415.75 billion, to be privatized.

Hours before the deadly blast at Mexico City's Pemex building, which killed 33, Mexico's President Nieto said NO to privatization.

Strange that immediately AFTER Davos urged privatization of Pemex, there was a HUGE EXPLOSION. Coincidence, Im sure.  Davos and their henchmen are probably just making things a little difficult for the Mexican Government in an effort fo steal the industry away from them.
