Background
- Four years at the US government's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California.[2]
- Member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and involved in the fifth "report" of the IPCC[3]
- In 2018 was named one of the BBC's 100 Women.[4]
2024 Mexican General Elections
Sheinbaum was called the "left-wing Sarah Palin" in a segment by Democracy Now![5]
| Why Mexico Just Elected the World's Most Left-Wing President |
Claudia Sheinbaum, a leftwing former mayor of Mexico City, won the presidency with between 58.3% and 60.7% of the vote, according to a rapid sample count by Mexico’s electoral authority. The ruling coalition led by Sheinbaum’s Morena party was also on track for a possible two-thirds super-majority in both houses of Congress, which would allow the coalition to pass constitutional reforms without opposition support. The big win for Sheinbaum was consistent with polls throughout the campaign.[6]
Reactions
Currency declines
The Financial Times reported "Peso falls as Claudia Sheinbaum wins Mexico presidency by landslide".[7]
Congratulations
Yanis Varoufakis posted on X:
- Congratulations to friend and fellow traveller Claudia Sheinbaum. Winning the Presidency of Mexico is not just a confirmation of Andres Manuel's policies in favour of the poor but a giant leap for radical feminism and ecology. A rare glimmer of hope in a bleak era.[8]
As did Jeremy Corbyn:
- Congratulations to Claudia Sheinbaum, the first woman to be elected President of Mexico.
- This is a victory for the people of Mexico, for social justice and for the future of our planet.[9]
