VIENNA, Va., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- This past Saturday,
Mexico's newly elected President,
Enrique Pena Nieto, received
Mexico's Presidential sash from
former President Felipe Calderon.
Later that day at the Transition of Power Ceremony in Mexico's capital city, Mexican officials and
worldwide dignitaries gathered to watch him assume his new role.
Along with the United States
senior representative Vice President Joe
Biden, MicroTech's President & CEO, Tony Jimenez, was one of the few American
businessmen invited to the event.
"It's quite an honor to be one of only a small handful of
U.S. business leaders invited to Mexico's Presidential Inauguration," said
Jimenez. "Being able to witness former President Felipe Calderon hand his power over to President
Enrique Pena Nieto and help
Mexico in its IT endeavors for
future growth and success is a real blessing. I am confident this
new collaborative relationship will be prosperous for the United States, Mexico, and MicroTech."
The Washington Post's William
Booth described the scene at the Mexican Congress saying,
"..Calderon removed the green, white and red sash of office and
passed it to Pena Nieto." This
signified the transition of power from the 12 years of the PAN
(Partido Accion Nacional) party back to the party Nieto belongs to,
PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional), which has ruled
Mexico from 1929 to 2000.
Mexico's new transition of
power symbolizes their push towards new and better horizons. After
he took office, President Nieto voiced his goals to help citizens
rise from poverty to take their place on the international stage.
He said, "We are a nation that is going at two different speeds.
There's a Mexico of progress and
development. But there's another, too, that lives in the past and
in poverty…Mexico has not
achieved the advances its people demand and deserve."
MicroTech's recent business expansion, MicroTech International,
is currently working on strategic partnerships within Mexico to provide technological capabilities
to the growing country in their time of ascension. Jimenez said,
"This new transition will bring in a virtuous and revolutionary
change for the Mexican Government and its people. Mexico's new focus on peace, prosperity, and
innovation will further sanctify and strengthen MicroTech's new
business expansion into Mexico."
