The president of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Mexico (Camescom), Antonio Basagoiti, assured that, after the June 2 elections and Sheinbaum's landslide victory, the business climate feels more "close".

"With the new president we noticed closeness with foreign investment, which Spanish investment is very important, and we noticed openness to dialogue," he commented in an interview at the organization's headquarters in the Mexican capital.

Basagoiti added that a central issue and one that "fits very well" between Spanish investment and the next government of Sheinbaum, is that it be accompanied by social development with sustainability.
