Mexico: 74% vote against Constellation Brands brewery in Mexicali; private sector confederation rejects result
On Sunday 22nd March, the Mexican Government held a public consultation in Mexicali regarding the Constellation Brands brewery, a mega project that began construction in 2016. 74% of those who voted rejected the construction of the project. The Government has expressed they will listen to the will of the people and won´t grant the company the licences they require to continue with the project.
However, the country´s top business confederation, CCE, has rejected the consultation process labelling it is as dangerous for the prospects of foreign investment. The company has yet to comment.
