Mexico City – Every September, the president of Mexico, emerges before tens of thousands of crowds in the central square of the country. gritoIndependence donation of the country’s break from colonial administration.

This year, a woman for the first time masses “Long Live Mexico!” He will manage on his stalls.

The ceremony on Monday in Mexico City’s main plaza will be a historical moment for the country and as the first female leader of the country, President Claudia Sheinbaum, who preserves quite high grades despite domestic and international challenges.

Sheinbaum, 63 -year -old, who took office on October 1, has more than 70% approval ratings and has multiple victory -notching: the transition of the great constitutional reforms, the unprecedented judicial elections and to make concessions on migration and security to change their threat to Mexican goods.

In addition, in a country depleted with drug violence, the administration has supervised a 25% decline in murders, an impressive success in a country where the aggressive oppression of the aggressive crime on an organized crime.

Sheinbaum, this month, the members of the political party who controls both houses of the legislature council, “Long Live Claudia!

But perhaps the biggest success of Sheinbaum, the Long Shadow, given by its predecessor Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has emerged from Long Shadow, a hero who is very important for the selection of support between the working class.

As López Obrador’s Morena Party candidate, Sheinbaum promised to reduce poverty and continue the populist project that tries to remove power from traditional economic and political elites.

On June 2, 2024, the Mexicans were listed at a voting station in Guadalajara, and the day voters made a ballot to choose the President of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum.

After winning a landslide, he encountered criticism that he would be “puppet olan, a discourse he rejected as a sexist.

Nevertheless, sheinbaum has no question that he should walk in a difficult line: when defining his presidency according to his own conditions, he shows loyalty to the political movement that leads him there.

While López Obrador withdrew from the public life retired to his farm in Southern Mexico, Sheinbaum adopted most of the signature policies, including disabled people and the elderly, a popular welfare program that distributes cash to young people.

López continued to practice Obrador’s daily morning news conferences, where he often pays lip service to the former president and repeats his signature statement: “For the good of everyone, the poor first”.

Political analyst Jorge Zepeda Patterson said that Sheinbaum has successfully abandoned other Morena party members, including many former political competitors to be seen as the new voice of López Obrador’s movement.

“That heir is the translator of the whole movement, and that’s not a little thing,” he said.

Sheinbaum also received one of the most controversial attempts on the finish line: a revision that necessitates the popular vote of the judiciary system. Critics argue that the power of the movement was designed to concentrate in the hands of Morena and opened the door of corruption.

“This is just something they invented to control the judiciary, Er Ernesto Zedillo, former president and leader of the Corporate Revolution Party, said.

But while López advances Obrador’s agenda, Sheinbaum quietly carved his own way.

While warrior and extremely ideological, Sheinbaum, whose news against neoliberalism against Neoliberalism has called the “Power Mafia ılan, which has long been controlled by Mexico for hours, adopted a more diplomatic tone. He says that Mexico’s future depends on his entrepreneurs. He carefully chooses his words at the news conferences, a calm smile on his face.

The most important distinction from the mentor was in security issues.

As a part of the “HUGS NOT BULLET” policy, López Obrador reduced security cooperation with the United States, ordered soldiers to stop confronting cartels and emphasize new social programs. During the six -year period, the murders approached record peaks and expanded their control of crime groups.

Sheinbaum, under pressure from tightening drugs from Trump, changed business production, dismantled Fentanil laboratories, realized big drug busts and sent dozens of defendants to the United States to face justice.

Despite these wins, great difficulties arise.

The biggest is Trump.

When the Mexican economy began to give tariff threats to the US President, it was on the rocks when Mexico began to frighten the overseas investors who saw the products as a pipeline to carry the US taxes. As a result, growth slowed down.

Sheinbaum and Trump have not yet met, but they talked several times during the phone calls, both leaders described them as successful. “More and more, we understand and understand each other, Tr Trump said in August.

For Sheinbaum, a constant pressure is the threat of US military action in Mexico.

Trump recently signed an order that allowed the Latin American American to use force against drug cartels, which the defense department was set as foreign terrorist groups. The US army recently destroyed a Venezuela boat and said it was a drug trade and killed 11.

Carlos Bravo Regidor, a Mexican political analyst, said that most of the first year of Sheinbaum was dominated by two men: Trump and López Obrador, known by Amlo.

“He was stuck between Amlo’s legacy and Donald Trump’s reality,” he said.

Sheinbaum’s stance on the US military action embodies how it is handled with Trump. He will openly talk-“will not be invaded” and Mexico is not a colony of anyone ”-but he is engaged in explanations against Stoke Trump’s anger.

More than once, when Trump was asked to respond to the latest hyperbolic interpretation, “President Trump has his own way of communication.”

Nevertheless, there is no doubt that Sheinbaum benefited from a wave of rising nationalism against an American president who persecuted Mexican immigrants living in the United States and threatening drone strikes in Mexico territory. It is likely that this thought will be exhibited on Monday when the flags of the Mexicans are wore red, white and green and gather in Zócalo for the celebration of independence.

It will also be a strong current of feminism.

Sheinbaum frequently repeated the mantra he talked about for the first time: “I did not come alone, I came with all Mexican women.”

For many Mexicans in party lines, the presidency became a transformative.

40 -year -old Mexico City resident Esther Ramos said that Sheinbaum is planning to take her young girls to see that she was delivered. gritoNot as a lesson in politics, but as a lesson on its own.

“Two daughters will see that a woman can achieve everything they want,” he said.
