What can Mexico expect from the former mayor of the capital after an historic election?
On October 17, 1953, constitutional reform granted women the right to vote in Mexico , and two years later, women cast ballots for the first time in a federal election.
Her main rival, Xóchitl Gálvez, who was trailing by nearly 30% in the official quick count, represented the coalition “Strength and Heart for Mexico”. This is composed of the Institutional Revolutionary Party , National Action Party and the Party of the Democratic Revolution . Jorge Álvarez of the Citizen Movement party trailed in third place.
The democratic transition resulted in new laws reinforcing independent decision-making in electoral practices in the 1990s. He deeply despises the imperfect and fragmented achievements of Mexico’s democratic transition, a period he considers a betrayal of Mexican history, tainted by neo-liberal policies and corruption. He has frequently denounced the opposition — even during the electoral period, despite laws against this.
That changed quickly. López Obrador dismantled the federal police and replaced it with a new force called the National Guard, primarily composed of military personnel. He also pushed for this new force to be attached to the National Defense Secretariat , without civilian oversight. Sedena is under the direct control of the president.
Sheinbaum denies Mexico is becoming more militarised. She has also promised to pursue López Obrador’s plan to attach the National Guard to the Sedena.In the second half of his term, the opposition said it would no longer support his government’s legislative initiatives. The ruling bloc decided to ignore the opposition and pass reforms with the support of minor parties that were later invalidated by the Supreme Court.
