Claudia Sheinbaum has taken office as Mexico's first female president, succeeding outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Sheinbaum, a former mayor of Mexico City, won a landslide victory with nearly 60% of the vote, the largest mandate since Mexico became a democracy 25 years ago. Lopez Obrador, who leaves office with an unprecedented 75% favorable opinion rate, has passed the baton to Sheinbaum, who has inherited his popularity. However, Sheinbaum takes office amid uncertainty, with relations with the United States having hit a rough patch.

    1. We want women's participation, we want this change to happen.
    1. All the departments will have a feminist perspective.
    2. There will be no return to the irresponsible drug war.
    3. Never again should we hear the statement, 'You're prettier when you stay silent,'
    1. She has to send a clear message to investors, very, very fast.
    1. For the economy, the rule of law is a crucial criterion for doing business abroad, building and operating facilities. And independent judges are a fundamental prerequisite for the rule of law.
    1. The strongest president in recent history will begin her term as the most constrained.
    1. If we want a strong government, the checks and balances also have to be strong.
    1. So, where López Obrador was charismatic, Claudia Sheinbaum will have to be effective.
    2. López Obrador was a tremendously charismatic president and many times that charisma allowed him to cover up some political errors that Claudia Sheinbaum will not have that possibility of doing.
    1. He wanted to establish a form of coexistence with the drug traffickers by laying down red lines that they were not to cross.
    2. But with almost 200 heavily armed criminal groups over a large part of the territory, rather than four as in 1990, this strategy has hardly worked.
    3. If you took away drugs right now, it wouldn't necessarily resolve the conflict. They have all kinds of illicit economies to draw from.
