Pascual: No Hurt Feelings

In what I believe is his first interview with the media since submitting his resignation, ex-Ambassador-to-be Carlos Pascual spoke to Milenio about his ouster earlier this week:

Feelings have nothing to do with feelings between nations. What we have to focus on here are the national interests and when I eventually go, I will go recognizing that the two countries have, want to, and will continue to continue putting the national interests of Mexico and United States above [feelings]. That's what we must focus on so as to serve the interests of the citizens in both nations.

He then cut the interview short with tears rolling down his cheeks.
