Historic Victory for the Mexican Left: Claudia Sheinbaum Becomes First Woman President
from Soberanía: The Mexican Politics Podcast · host Soberanía Podcast
Soberanía co-hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth review the results from Sunday’s election that saw Claudia Sheinbaum make history by becoming Mexico’s first woman president. Elected on a left-wing program promising to deepen the political transformation started by outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, her victory has provoked the ire of Mexico’s right-wing elites and intellectuals, who once again have failed to grasp why voters chose to elect Morena and give them a super-majority in the Congress. Plus in our Losers and Haters section, we encourage our viewers to contact AP and let them know you’re tired of their biased coverage.
