Claudia Sheinbaum Sworn in as Mexico’s First Female President, Vows ‘It’s Time for Women’
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Claudia Sheinbaum made history by becoming Mexico’s first female president, taking office on Tuesday, October 1st, with the support of outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Sheinbaum, who served as the mayor of Mexico City, emphasized her commitment to continuity with López Obrador’s policies while also addressing the significant challenges ahead, including Mexico’s ongoing drug-related violence and economic instability.

Sheinbaum’s inaugural address focused on honoring the progress of Mexican women, stating, “It is time for women,” and vowing to govern for all citizens. While she praised her predecessor’s social programs, which pulled millions out of poverty, she outlined her own vision of expanding free healthcare and education. She promised to create 300,000 additional places in public high schools and universities, affirming her stance that health and education are basic rights, not privileges.

Despite her alignment with López Obrador’s policies, Sheinbaum faces immense pressure to tackle Mexico’s drug violence, particularly in states like Sinaloa and Chiapas. She has maintained the “Hugs, Not Bullets” strategy but has promised to strengthen intelligence efforts to address the violence. Critics, however, question whether her experience governing Mexico City is sufficient to address the national scale of these challenges.

The drug war remains a central issue for Sheinbaum, with cartels continuing to exert influence across the country. Her decision to avoid direct confrontation with these groups, much like López Obrador, has drawn both support and skepticism. Nevertheless, she enjoys significant backing from her party, Morena, which controls both houses of Congress.

In addition to domestic issues, Sheinbaum must navigate potential challenges in United States-Mexico relations, particularly if Donald Trump wins the upcoming U.S. election. Her commitment to free trade with the U.S. and Canada remains strong, but the uncertain political landscape may complicate these efforts.

As Mexico’s first female leader, Sheinbaum’s presidency marks a significant turning point. Promising, “I won’t let you down,” she will face intense scrutiny as she seeks to carve her own path while upholding the legacy of her mentor.
