She is a puppet of the current president, she was apponted by himself

That said, the opposition was also a woman but she was an unknown and 3 parties with different views allied to launch her as candidate

The party is projected to have qualified majority of the Congress and maybe senate so they'll be able to do a bunch of stuff so that may be worrying

They have done a lot of good stuff but also they are full of corruption like cancelling a great airport that still needs to be paid and building a shitty one very far away that no one wants to use and that interferes with the operation of the other airport so it doesn't really help with congestion

Sheinbaum is a climate scientist so I'm curious about who she'll appoint to the energy commission because the current government is all-in on carbon

First question how is she a puppet. Second question, and the Congress, what might be worrying about it?

  1. The president was thoroughly involved in the process of selecting the party's candidate. Claudia's campaign was that she'll continue with AMLO's plan

  2. With super majority they can make changes to the Constitution

Same thing with Biden lol. Obama interfered hard to get him elected during the primary. He's not great, but he's been surprisingly better than Trump (in every way but the genocide thing and immigration) so hopefully she's better than expected, too!

That's never good. It's basically waiting to be a monarchy in all but name. Look no further than Venezuela and North Korea
