Now she became the first female president in over 200 years of independent Mexico history, 1 of the most conservative states of Latin America. On 1 October, taking her oath in Parliament, Claudia Sheinbaum declared: – The time of transformation has come, the time has come for women. And then she announced that all the women who fought for their position would come with her.
The heart of her countrymen won during the Covid pandemic. At the time, she was the mayoress of the capital and rapidly converted the public safety center there into a facility serving emergency calls and coordinating medical assistance. Cameras on the streets were utilized to direct ambulance traffic in the city's maze. Carlos Mackinlay, then Secretary of Tourism, recalls: – By the time we got to the center, there was already a large city map with illuminated points showing the locations of all ambulances. You could communicate with them to find out why they stopped, whether they needed additional equipment. Sheinbaum's consequence to the wellness crisis awakened hope that it would be equally effective as head of state. She won the election by a crushing majority. Over 59 percent of voters trusted her.
She was born 62 years ago to a household of judaic immigrants. Her father, the chemist, Carlos Sheinbaum YoselevitzHe came to Mexico from Lithuania. Mother, Annie Pardo CemoA bio-bed came from Bulgaria. They both worked as scientists, but were besides academic activists. In 1968, they joined the anti-government student movement ending with a massacre of respective twelve people in Tlatellco Square. The daughter followed in their footsteps. She took part in a large student strike that paralyzed Mexican national university for 10 months in the turn of the century, later participated in protests against the president Carlos Salinas de Gortari, pushing free marketplace policy and opposing democratic reforms. She was a Colombian left partisan sympathizer, who erstwhile belonged to the current president of Colombia. Gustavo Petro, and helped exiled rebels flee to Mexico.
Claudia Sheinbaum says, government serves people. She has left-wing views, but she has appointed people on the right side of the political scene as her co-workers. She gained large power due to the fact that her party, as well as her mentor and predecessor organization – Morena Lópeza Obradora – controls both chambers of Congress. However, the situation in the country is not comfortable for her. Drug cartels have strengthened control in much of Mexico, and the President's first journey will be to the flood-stricken hotel of Acapulco. In addition, she inherited a immense budget gap and rising bills for her group's social programs. Her large concern may besides be triumph Donald Trump, a supporter of mass deportations of immigrants coming to the US across the Mexican border. It does not talk about these problems at the moment, and as a climate activist, it points to the simplification of oil production: – We will advance energy efficiency and the transition to renewable energy sources.
She took office 70 years after the Mexicans gained the right to vote and 4 years after legislature introduced a sex parity in parliament and government. Unfortunately, apart from the authorities, there is no equality in Mexico, but there is tremendous force against women. Just 24 hours after Claudia's election victory, the mayor of 1 of the cities, Yolanda Sanchez FigueroaShot on a public road. In agrarian areas, only men proceed to rule, the abortion ban is inactive in force, although the ultimate Court stated last year that it was unconstitutional. Mexican feminists reduce hopes of improving the situation – choosing a female as president does not warrant that she will regulation from a sex perspective.
