First elected president in nafta states (i was going by concacaf zones 🥺)
Not a president, but Canada had a female PM for like 4 months in 1993.
not elected (or was she?)
You are right! Thanks for the feedback, comrade!!
How did AMLO lose? I thought he was popular.
She is the continuation (at least seems so) of AMLO.
He didn't lose, he just cannot serve another term. She belongs to his party and he effectively campaigned for her. His popularity helped boost her in the election.
Thanks. It would be dope if they get a clear majority and use it to change the constitution.
The liberal media have already been portraying AMLO as a dictator for his "populist" policies, if his party tried to change the constitution to make it more leftist all the liberals would go crying to the US for intervention and regime change.
Liberals are already seething. Guessd in Mexico we are not "civilized" enough for a female president.
LMAO
this is similarly the current SK government's stance on getting called out for their sexism: "we can't be sexist, look at Afghanistan, that's sexism"
Mexico doesn't have second term for presidency (They started their Revolution in 1910 because of that issue). She is from his party, I think
Only one term per president? That seems a bit extreme.
There are very understandable reasons based in Mexican history for strict term limits.
6 years term though. And it is very ingrained thing on mexican political life after Porfirio Diaz ruled for almost 30 years and 6 terms in the beginning of the century
The reactions from the Western media so far are split between hoping she will be less "populist" and more "pragmatic" (by which they mean more of a malleable technocrat who will bend to the bourgeoisie) than AMLO on the one hand, and trying to smear her by association with him on the other, whom they despise and call all sorts of names and try to portray as anti-democratic and pro-crime compared to previous right wing governments and who they try to pin all sorts of economic woes on.
Not one of the mainstream media articles about her so far has mentioned that she is extremely pro-Palestinian.
The Western media is so fucking despicable and predictable as always. It really is the most effective propaganda apparatus on this planet, and nothing even comes close.
yea its interesting that western media lumps in AMLO & Modi, Erdogan, Orban into one 'populist' blob.
to liberals populism = government i don’t like
