Claudia Sheinbaum is Mexico’s new president. She is the first woman to have this job.

She was sworn in during a ceremony in Mexico City. She has pledged to continue the policies of her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. She won the election easily but has some big challenges to solve. One of these problems is ongoing gang violence, which causes insecurity for many citizens.

Before she became president, Sheinbaum was the mayor of Mexico City. She lowered the city’s murder rate but many people go missing. Now, she will also try to reduce Mexico’s budget deficit but maintain social welfare programs at the same time.
