Mexico elects first woman president: Who is she and what does she believe?

[Michie]

In a historic election, Claudia Sheinbaum will be the first woman to become president of Mexico, succeeding incumbent Andrés Manuel López Obrador, whose “legacy” she promised to “save” at the close of her campaign on May 29. Who is she, what does she think, and what is her relationship with the Catholic Church?

Sheinbaum, the candidate of the Let’s Keep Making History political alliance consisting of the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA), the Labor Party (PT), and the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM), obtained a solid majority of the votes in the country’s three-candidate June 2 presidential election.

The director of the National Electoral Institute (INE), Guadalupe Taddei, reportedin the early hours of June 3 that according to the results from the rapid count, Sheinbaum led her principal rival, Xóchitl Gálvez, by between 30 and 34 points. Gálvez ran under the Strength and Heart coalition comprised of the National Action Party (PAN), Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), and Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD).

The rapid count showed Sheinbaum obtaining between 58% and 60% of the votes while Gálvez ran far behind with between 26% and 28%. Jorge Álvarez Maynez, the candidate of the Citizen Movement party, won between 9% and 10% of the votes. Sheinbaum will take office on Oct. 1.

Prayers for this new president, that she turns Mexico around, and removes the cartels.

Unfortunately she will probably do neither. She was Manuel Lopez Obrador's VP and will probably follow his policy of "Hugs, not bullets' for the cartels.
