MEXICO'S incoming President Claudia Sheinbaum began naming her cabinet on Thursday, presenting an even gender distribution, as well as a heavy presence from academia and her prior administration as Mexico City’s mayor.
Ms Sheinbaum, herself a climate scientist and former academic, appointed former foreign affairs secretary Marcelo Ebrard as her administration’s economy secretary.
Mr Ebrard stepped down from that post in 2023 to run against Ms Sheinbaum for their party’s nomination. But Ms Sheinbaum romped to victory in the June 2 election.
