Mexico elects Claudia Sheinbaum as first woman president (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp4475gwny1o)
QuoteClaudia Sheinbaum has been elected as Mexico's first woman president in an historic landslide win.
Mexico's official electoral authority said preliminary results showed the 61-year-old former mayor of Mexico City winning between 58% and 60% of the vote in Sunday's election.
That gives her a lead of about 30 percentage points over her main rival, businesswoman Xóchitl Gálvez.
Ms Sheinbaum will replace her mentor, outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, on 1 October.
It'll be interesting to she how she gets on.
Hmmm....A Jewish woman elected in a predominantly Catholic society.
IK,R? Seems to be against all odds.
Claudia Sheinbaum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_Sheinbaum).
Smart cookie.
It's heartbreaking to have to compare this woman to a man like Trump :(
I know next to nothing about Mexican politics, but over here, I have observed that it does not matter much whether it's a man or a woman, a Jew or a Catholic leading the government.
Over 'ere, the prime minister tends to be whoever leads the largest party in a governing coalition. Sometimes though, a small party may get the office in exchange for coalition support.
If she's competent and/or has a good cabinet around her and/or enough popular support, she will do just fine.

If she stays alive
She has had numerous death threats already
She is a leader of a nation with some issues. Such-like comes with the territory, I suspect.
Undoubtedly.
Heck, pop singers and ""influencers"" get death threats, some more serious and less imaginary than others. Someone who actually has the power to make a tangible impact in real people's real lives and, perhaps more importantly in such considerations, their wallets... To put it this way, if some would kill over a few hundred bucks, what would some others do over a few hundred million?
That's not to mention various ideological nutters, creepy stalkers and what else have you. I have certain respect for people who willingly stick their neck out and expose it to that world knowingly and without whinging. Being a public figure... Yeah. It has its dark sides, ranging from the rate of drug addiction to... Well, the quality of said public.
Given the gang culture prevalent in Mexico she'd better wear body armour to bed!
One can only hope that she will not opt for The Other(tm) Solution - avoid messing with their money.

That's rather cryptic for me this time in the morning :)
There are roughly two types of politicians in countries with strong criminal gangs - those who do their best to oppose them, and those who do their best to look like they oppose them, while at the same time trying not to cause undue disruptions to their revenue streams.
I suspect she would be the former. What do you think?
Now that she has been elected, I am happy to forego speculation for more-or-less-verifiable data. :smilenod:
Claudia Sheinbaum was sworn in on October 1, 2024, making history as Mexico's first woman president in over 200 years of the country's independence. A scientist-turned-politician and former mayor of Mexico City, she won the presidential election by a landslide, carrying 31 out of 32 states with nearly 60% of the vote—the highest vote percentage ever recorded in Mexican elections.
Sheinbaum is known for her analytical and disciplined approach, campaigning on a promise to continue the social programs and policies of her mentor, former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Her agenda includes expanding social safety nets, regulating prices on essential goods, and investing in infrastructure like housing and rail projects. However, she faces significant challenges, including persistent violence, a sluggish economy, and the aftermath of natural disasters in tourist areas.
Her inauguration was marked by historic significance, with officials using the feminine term "Presidenta" for the first time in Mexico's history. The event was also notable for the attendance of U.S. First Lady Jill Biden, symbolizing strong Mexico-U.S. relations despite some tensions. Claudia Sheinbaum's presidency reflects a milestone for women in Mexico, addressing long-standing issues of gender inequality and promising a focus on transformation and inclusion.
Her background as an environmental scientist and her commitment to addressing climate change add a modern dimension to her leadership. She has vowed to promote energy efficiency and renewable energies while limiting oil production.
This new chapter in Mexico's leadership carries high expectations domestically and internationally, as Sheinbaum navigates complex political, economic, and social landscapes.
If you want, I can provide a shorter summary or focus on specific aspects like her political career, policies, or challenges ahead.
