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]
