Mexico: Shrimp and tuna, the reasons for not signing an agreement with Ecuador

It was a negotiation that was believed to be blocked and paralyzed, but not officially closed. This was until yesterday, when the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, spoke for the first time and publicly about his government's decision to "not sign" the trade agreement it was negotiating with Ecuador, due to Ecuador's intention to include in the negotiation of products such as shrimp and tuna, two sensitive offers that would have affected the Mexican industry. His statements on the subject were made in a press conference offered from Culiacán, Sinaloa, the area where there was precisely opposition to including this type of fishing in the signing of this agreement, which for Ecuador was a key requirement to enter the Pacific Alliance, which includes Mexico, Chile, Peru and Colombia.
