Mexico’s incoming president has announced her appointees for top posts, but hopes for a fresh approach were dashed by the re-appearance of old faces in the new cabinet.
Incoming Claudia Sheinbaum smiles during a press conference where she presented members of her Cabinet in Mexico City, Thursday, June 27, 2024.
García Harfuch is credited with bringing down homicides in the capital, though the numbers he claims are disputed. He gained respect afterSheinbaum has pledged to strip control of the National Guard, Mexico's main law enforcement agency, from the Public Safety Department and turn the 117,000-member force over to the Army. García Harfuch will control little other than the country's prisons when he takes over the job.
Of the top four cabinet posts, only Harfuch is a new face in the federal government. In June, Sheinbaum tapped Juan Ramón de la Fuente as her secretary of foreign affairs. Sheinbaum has also allowed several other officials who served under López Obrador to remain in the cabinet.
