Mexico City, Mexico—Claudia Sheinbaum, the former city mayor elected Mexico’s first woman president, is an environmental scientist and dedicated leftist known for keeping a cool head in times of crisis.
“She is much more of a mainstream leftist politician” and likely to be “less ideological” than the outgoing president, she added. Guillermo Robles, a former classmate at the prestigious National Autonomous University of Mexico, remembers Sheinbaum as a serious student.Sheinbaum’s magnetism as a young woman lay in her left-wing political convictions, Robles said.Sheinbaum also spent several years as a researcher in California, where she honed her English language skills.
Sheinbaum denied that irregularities in the construction were her office’s responsibility, and went on to be elected mayor of all of Mexico City the following year. “Despite being a scientist, she is something of a social fighter, which makes a very good combination of heart and mind,” Clouthier added.
During a series of heated election debates, an unflappable Sheinbaum avoided looking at her main opponent Xochitl Galvez or even calling her by name, despite a barrage of accusations.
