Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum of the progressive MORENA party has won Mexico’s presidential election in a landslide, becoming the country’s first female president. Sheinbaum pledges to continue the Fourth Transformation project, initiated by her predecessor President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, which aims to fight austerity policies and corruption.
John Ackerman, a professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), explains the significance of Sheinbaum’s historic election for Mexico, the region, and the world.
“The victory of AMLO in 2018 and of Claudia Sheinbaum in 2024 is not a pro-establishment power grab but part of this resistance to the economic and political powers that be” @JohnMAckerman
