Everything indicated that it would be him. Before the vote took place, Francisco Cervantes already had the support of five of the seven organizations that would decide who would lead the Business Coordinating Council (CCE). So it was.
Now, the Mexican businessman, who last year concluded his mandate in charge of the Confederation of Industrial Chambers of the United Mexican States (Concamin), assumes the presidency of the CCE for the period 2022-2023.
His immediate challenge will be to rebuild the bridges with the government to reach agreements and, above all, maintain the unity of businessmen in a context in which there are different interests at stake.
Until now, the Employers' Confederation of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex) has already celebrated that unity in plurality has prevailed in the renewal of the presidency of the council. “We agree with the CCE that companies are the engine of change and of the country's social and economic development. We express our conviction to contribute to the management of Francisco Cervantes Díaz with the determination and willingness to dialogue that has always characterized our Confederation,” the employer said in a press release.
