Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto on Monday fired back at comments made by Oscar-winning director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, saying the government was working to improve opportunities for Mexicans. "I want to dedicate this award for my fellow Mexicans, the ones who live in Mexico," Inarritu said during an acceptance speech. Many in Mexico interpreted the comments as an attack on Pena Nieto, whose government is facing a slew of problems including a lackluster economy and a years-long wave of gang-related violence that has left thousands dead. "As a country it brings us pride to know that Mexicans can triumph -- here and outside Mexico -- because as a government it's our job today to make things better," Pena Nieto said during a literature prize ceremony.
