A former mayor of Mexico City and an environmental scientist, Sheinbaum is a member of the ruling Morena party and will also be the first Mexican president of Jewish heritage.
As bleak as it is, given the high amount of other political opponents that died, the fact that she didn’t is likely an indication of how nice she plays with the people doing the murdering. I’m hopeful that she’s just good at dodging assassins, though!
It’s not bleak, it’s naive to assume that there has been no communication or back room deals between the politicians and the cartels.
She is not an independent candidate, she did not come to power via a coup. She is a veteran politician who played by the rules established before her and emerged the victor of a blatantly crooked game. People simply do not want to accept it because she is a woman.
I mean, the bleak thing is that the world works through people making deals with murderers to not be murdered, instead allowing other people to be murdered. I don’t give a shit about her gender, I just want a story about a good person winning in spite of corruption, not a bad person winning because of it.
Neat. Hopefully they can continue raising quality of life enough to start putting a dent in the murder rates.
Why would she? She’s part and parcel of the political furniture.
Pretty sure politicians don’t like high murder rates, especially high murder rates for politicians themselves.
Can’t find a source though

I’m sure the political elite have zero ties to the cartels that have ravaged Mexico for decades and never assist them in their endeavors. /s
