A November 15 protest in Mexico – driven by a right-wing social-media operation – has been miscast as a mass uprising against President Sheinbaum. In reality, the march was small, elite-backed and part of a wider attempt to sow unrest, argues DAVID RABY
ON October 1, Claudia Sheinbaum, the Morena party’s successor to President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, will start her term in office.
She was elected on June 2, when the right wing in Mexico suffered a historic defeat and she won the presidential election by a landslide margin of over 32 points, becoming the first woman and first person of Jewish descent to be elected president.
The election saw Sheinbaum receiving the highest number of votes ever recorded for a candidate, surpassing Amlo’s record of 30.1 million votes. In total, she achieved just under 36 million votes.
