    First female president. First Jewish president. Very historic day for our neighbor Mexico.


    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq552vz5y5zo

    From the moment former Mayor of Mexico City Claudia Sheinbaum threw her hat in the ring for the presidency, the result was rarely in doubt.
    Throughout the long and often gruelling campaign, as she criss-crossed the nation on commercial flights, her double-digit lead in the polls would have reassured her that she was on track to make history.
    She has now done so, becoming Mexico’s first woman president by a huge margin.
    It is a watershed moment both for Mexico and her personally. She has already served as Mexico City’s first female mayor. Now, in a few months, she will occupy the National Palace, succeeding her mentor, outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, known by his initials, Amlo.
    No matter what else happens in her political career or where her six years in power lead her, she will always be the woman who managed to break the glass ceiling in Mexican politics. Given the country’s deeply ingrained patriarchy and entrenched machismo, that is no small feat.
    Yet once the campaign leaflets are binned and the billboards bearing her face taken down, Mexicans could be forgiven for wondering exactly what kind of president she will be. In a campaign so full of words and speeches, there was precious little policy detail and few specifics about governance.

    I know nothing other than what I read (scientist, PhD in energy engineering, has written articles and books on environmental topics). Hopefully will be a good partner for the US since we have so many important shared areas of work (immigration, economic, environmental). I am betting one of the trumps won't be rushing to attend her inauguration as they propped up some of the other new leaders.

    She needs to be like Salvadors president. Lock up all the cartels, but they have ties with the US.

    Like Amlo, she will also be known by her initials.

    Her full name is Claudia Ursula Netty Tate-Sheinbaum.

    She is unfortunately the opposite of Bukele and Milei.

    Hardcore leftist.

    Bad news for Mexico.

    If countries were stock to invest in, I would invest in Argentina and El Salvador, not Mexico.

    She is more tied to her leftist identity, so she leans pro-Hamas and anti-Israel.

    Jewish philosophy was just as instrumental to Socialism and Communism as it was Zionism. Her being a leftist anti-Israeli doesn’t make her less Jewish.

    I didn't say it makes her less Jewish. I said it will make her impact on the lives of the people of Mexico a negative one.
