The poor state of macroeconomic indicators, the closing of the demographic window, declining\u00a0household\u00a0incomes and social crises, social security and troubled pension funds, declining oil revenues, negative capital growth, and finally environmental challenges are all threats to the future government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
