Claudia Sheinbaum has made history by being sworn in as the first female president of Mexico on October 1, 2024. This event marks a significant milestone in the country's political landscape, as Sheinbaum takes over leadership amid numerous pressing challenges, including economic instability, rising crime rates, and social inequality. A trained physicist and former mayor of Mexico City, she is a member of the MORENA party and is known for her progressive policies that prioritize climate action and social justice [1][2][3][4].

Her inauguration is seen as a continuation of the legacy of Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), who served as president before her. While Sheinbaum has pledged to build upon AMLO's social programs, her presidency is also expected to be scrutinized as she faces urgent issues such as the ongoing violence associated with drug cartels and the need for economic reforms to boost growth [5][6][7][8].

A key aspect of her platform involves addressing the discontent among various sectors, particularly amidst concerns over the state of public safety and economic prospects. Her administration has been tasked with uniting a country that has experienced deep political divides and significant challenges in governance [9][10][11].

In her inaugural address, Sheinbaum emphasized her commitment to advancing democracy, stabilizing the economy, and promoting respect for human rights, signaling a determined approach to her new role [12][13]. Supporters have high hopes for her presidency as she brings her scientific background and leadership experience to confront the multitude of obstacles facing Mexico today [14][15].

As the nation observes this historic change, the prospects for effective governance under Sheinbaum's leadership remain a focal point, with the world keenly watching how her administration will navigate these pressing issues [16][17].

“A Historic Moment”: A Look at AMLO’s Legacy as Claudia Sheinbaum Becomes Mexico’s First Female President

DemocracyNow! - 4 days ago - Mexico is making history today as the country prepares to inaugurate the first woman to be elected president. Claudia Sheinbaum, a climate scientist and the former mayor of Mexico City, won a landslide victory in Mexico’s June elections. Sheinbaum is a member of the ruling Morena party and a close ally of outgoing Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, whose six-year term ends today. AMLO, as he’s widely known, leaves behind a complicated legacy as Mexico’s most popular president in decades whose approval rating never dropped below 60%. AMLO championed a “progressive reframing of anti-corruption politics that thinks of neoliberalism itself as a form of corruption,” says Edwin Ackerman, sociology professor at Syracuse University, who lays out how the president’s economic policies dramatically increased the economic power of the working classes in Mexico. However, Ackerman says AMLO also faced criticism for empowering the military, increasing the use of fossil fuels and pushing through highly contested judicial reform.
