"Gravity" director Alfonso Cuarón wants answers from Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto.

On Monday, Mexican newspapers printed "10 Questions for the President of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto From Mexican Citizen Alfonso Cuarón." In the open letter, Cuarón demands that Nieto explain more about his planned energy constitutional reform. Last year, the president announced the changes, but Cuarón said the Mexican people were not informed enough.

"The legislative and democratic process through which these reforms were approved was poor, lacking any discussion in depth," Cuarón said. "And the measures were announced in the context of a propaganda campaign that evaded public debate."

The Oscar-winning director also took time to thank President Nieto for his "congratulatory messages" about "Gravity." Still, however, he had his bones to pick.

"If I am not sufficiently informed, it is because the government you lead has not shared with me — with all of us Mexicans — crucial elements that are necessary for us to understand 'the extent and significance of these reforms,'" the letter continued.

The letter, which is also on the web at diezpregunatas.com in five different languages, comes as Nieto's reforms await review by the Mexican Congress in order to begin legislation.

"The Reform, with its provisions on energy and especially oil, is the most profound and important that Mexico has undergone in decades," Cuarón said. "Therefore I would like to ask ten questions, the answers to which could dispel some of the doubts that have collected around these reforms."

Cuarón's 10 questions tackle issues from how the price of energy will change to environmental effects, the possibility of corruption and the distribution of profits.

The director also is concerned that Pemex will no longer be in charge of funds.

"Its contribution has supported educations as well as free health services provided to the nation. ... How will the needs of such services be met out of this budget?" he asked.

According to Fox News Latino, Pemex, also known as Petroleos Mexicanos, has been in charge of energy thanks to "constitution articles that were once considered sacred."
