Mexico's business chiefs praise Lopez Obrador after prickly campaign

By Anthony Esposito and Stefanie Eschenbacher MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's business elite had warm words for President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Wednesday after he assured them he respected private enterprise, a contrast to jibes in his campaign that some tycoons belonged to a "mafia of power." The encounter between the powerful CCE business lobby and Lopez Obrador comes as markets took the election of the self-styled radical in stride.

"I want to express my satisfaction for the attitude of the business sector," Lopez Obrador said.
