Claudia Sheinbaum, a scientist and a politician, has made history by becoming Mexico’s first female president.
This milestone marks a significant breakthrough in Mexico’s over 200-year modern history. As the former mayor of Mexico City, Sheinbaum broke the glass ceiling once again, this time on a national level.
In her inaugural speech, Sheinbaum vowed to prioritize women’s rights and ensure Mexico remains an attractive destination for international investment. Emphasizing her commitment to transformation, she declared, “It’s time for women.”
Sheinbaum’s agenda includes expanding public healthcare and education, building one million new homes, and capping prices for essential goods to control inflation. She also plans to introduce comprehensive reforms to combat gender violence and discrimination, addressing Mexico’s alarming femicide rates.
Her government will present its first budget before November 15, which will be closely watched for clues on her commitment to reducing the fiscal deficit. With her groundbreaking election, Sheinbaum has opened doors for women in Mexican politics.
