The new Mexico, led by a leftist academic woman, represents a ray of hope for a planet plagued by war and ecological collapse resulting from centuries of plunder and greed.
In these hours of affliction that the world is experiencing due to the acts of power of a handful of sociopaths who have left diplomacy behind and are trying to normalize all forms of extreme violence, the Mexican example shows that societies, if they set their minds to it, can stop the spread of chaos and put public power at the service of the collective interest.
Mexico is improving its human development indices by achieving outstanding achievements in the fight against corruption and the clean-up of institutions, although many battles remain to be fought to dismantle the networks that for many decades benefited from the disasters resulting from putting the law at the service of the elites.
The 100 actions that Claudia Sheinbaum announced at her inauguration will help reverse the damage caused by three decades of neoliberal policies and will have an impact beyond Mexico's borders, especially in the Central American and Caribbean region, although there is still great uncertainty about what may happen during the next elections in the United States.
The truth is that Mexican lessons are a powerful incentive for Latin American integration and for recovering credibility in the executive and business efficiency of the State.
It is no exaggeration to predict that the socioeconomic and political takeoff of the continent will depend on how Mexico fares and its efforts to prioritize access to education and science, as well as the mobilization of social energies aimed at dismantling the socio-racist conservatism and patriarchal power that crushes women.
