Claudia Sheinbaum will be sworn in as head of the Federal Executive in Mexico on October 1, a historic event for that country, since she will be the first woman to hold the office of president, for which she already has her government cabinet, in which experience and youth are combined.
"Not only is it historic that Mexico will have its first female president, but we are also close to the United States having its first female president," recalled Hans Leguizamo during the radio program Por la Libre, the mobile community radio station of Península 360 Press.
"It would be very interesting and very important for all the history books if two women were (presidents), in Mexico and in the United States, but we are nowhere near it," she stressed.
In this regard, she stressed that it is strange and unfortunate, but not surprising, that in both societies that call themselves democratic and representative, women are not represented in half of the decision-making positions.
"This is a major flaw in our political system, and one that we are gradually building and mending, because that is another job, you have to vote and be voted for, and that also implies the political participation of women who, along with our support, if we see and if we go to vote and see the proposals, we should not care if it is a man or a woman, we should vote for them equally," said Leguizamo.
In the case of the cabinet of President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum, it is noteworthy that Ariadna Montiel, Rogelio Ramírez de La O, Marhat Bolaños, and Zoé Robledo will remain in their positions as Secretary of Welfare, Secretary of Finance and Public Credit, Secretary of Labor, and General Director of the IMSS, respectively.
While Carlos Torres, Rocío Mejía, Lyndia Quiroz and Antonio Martínez Dagnino will remain in their positions as technical secretary of social programs of the Presidency of the Republic, heads of Fonatur and SAT, respectively.
It should be noted that while some will remain in the government, some will move from one secretariat to another, such is the case of Rosa Icela Rodríguez, who will now be Secretary of the Interior from Security and Citizen Protection; while Alicia Bárcena will leave the Foreign Ministry to become the head of the Secretariat of the Environment, Natural Resources and Fisheries.
Raquel Buenrostro will leave the Ministry of Economy and will now head the Ministry of Public Service; while Edna Elena Vega will leave her position at the Housing Institute to head the Ministry of Agrarian, Territorial and Urban Development; while Lázaro Cárdenas left his position as head of the presidential advisors and will become the head of the presidential office; and Alejandro Zvarch is being moved from Cofepris to be in charge of IMSS Bienestar; while Octavio Romero will move from Pemex to Infonavit.
