I've heard earlier this week that they were even considering to transfer the investiture to another place, which I found quite unusual... but given the scenes that occured in the Parliament, I was curious to see what would happen today. I'm glad thinks are calmer now.
 
Finally it was done in the Parliament, but there was the calm - tense one. Protests, shouts, plaudits ... while Calderon was swearing the cargo, of a very brief form, and the authorities were in the theater box. I have not seen their faces, but the imágino before this situation.

Here there are photos of the act, the Prince does not appear, but they give an idea of the situation

The Prince was present at the tensest investiture of last decade

Since he comes doing from 1995, His Royal Highness the Prince of Asturias represented yesterday Spain in the capture of possession of the new president of Mexico.

Nevertheless, Don Felipe will remember this investiture as the tensest and complicated of more of forty which he has attended in the different countries of Latin America. And it that the Inheritor of the Wreath has been present in practically all those who have been celebrated in the last eleven years and in some of them he has lived difficult situations, with explosions of bombs in close included zones. Actually, nobody has been present at so many presidential reliefs as him.

Don Felipe attended that of yesterday from the theater boxes of the Congress of the Deputies destined for the Chiefs of State, for certain distance, therefore, of the field of battle into which the lounge turned, for moments. The Inheritor of the Wreath, who was the first one in acceding to the theater box and made it accompanied by the secretary of State of Latin America, Trinidad Jiménez, followed expectantly the complicated ceremony together with other foreign agents chief executive, between them the presidents of Guatemala, Óscar Berger; Nicaragua, Enrique Bolaños; Costa Rica, Óscar Arias; El Salvador, Elías Antonio Saca; Honduras, Manuel Zelaya; Panama, Martin Torrijos, and Colombia, Álvaro Uribe, to whose captures of possession also he was present in its day.

Together with them also George Bush was father and the governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger. All of them were summoned in a central hotel and from there they moved to the Parliament in armored vehicles and under extreme measurements of safety. To the investiture also other Spanish were invited, as the secretary of International Relations of the People's party, Jorge Moragas, or the judge Baltasar Garzón.

Inside his representative's role of Spain in the Latin-American captures of possession, the Inheritor of the Wreath does not limit himself to attending to the ceremony of transmission of the power, but he takes advantage of these trips to meet the next and salient presidents, since he has done in this occasion with Vicente Fox and with Felipe Calderón.

Thanks a lot for the links above, it's very intersting to see how the Prince of Asturias is considered as a true political - as a futur Chief of State - protagonist of such meeting and to see how his eceonomic role is remarked.

About the poltical situation of Mejico, my remark was very general because I been sometimes in Mejico City by the past for International conferencies and I had found this country very mature and well organised for this kind of meetings. It's because I'm today a little astonished to watch at such " behaviours".But you are totally right it's not the subject of this thread.

Thanks again:flowers:

"The network that Prince Felipe is building in especially Latin America is very impressive. No other royalty that comes to mind has so many interactions with high level politicians in so many counties as he has. I don't think he gets sufficient credit for the work he does because it is unique to Spain."

Grevinnan, you remark above is excellent and I share totally your opinion, in matter of economic organistion the Prince of Asturias is doing an extraordinary job in America Latina.
Can you imagine how firms would have a such "ambassador/prospector" . Only for that Spain people would be thank their Prince who is the best sailor of spanish products.

Prince Asturias and Calderón will inaugurate economic bilateral forum

Mexico, 3 dic (EFE) .-The Prince of Asturias will inaugurate tomorrow the Forum of Investments and Managerial Cooperation Hispanic - Mexican, in whom it is foreseen that he is accompanied by the new president of Mexico, Felipe Calderón, which would be the first public act of the new Mexican Administration with another country.

Felipe de Borbón will give impulse like that once again with his presence to the economic relations of Spain with other countries, which in this trip to Mexico he initiated last Tuesday on having been present at the Fair of the Book of Guadalajara, in which Andalusia was the invited one of honor and which possessed the participation of the principal Spanish publishing houses.

The Forum is organized by the Spanish Institute of Exterior Trade (ICEX), with the aim to increase the commercial bilateral relations, with special interest in the small and medium company.

The presence of Calderón will suppose one more step in the excellent bilateral relations and a gesture of recognition of Felipe de Borbón, who was present last Friday at his capture of possession as representative of the Spanish State and whom the same day met privately, in the first institutional act between both countries.
