Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Monday presented a five-year plan, aimed at combating violence and improving administration.

Before the presentation, Luis Videgaray, the secretary (Minister) of Finance and Public Credit, said the government had received 228,949 proposals through public consultations and used those ideas to elaborate the plan.

It also sets aims for the nation's education and common wealth. Some complementary strategies are presented in the documents as well.
