I’ll be interested to see how she will compare to Obrador’s administration. I wish her luck
She IS AMLO's administration, there was no word from her before he said something about anything during her campaign.
AMLO had said since the beginning of his term he was going to disappear from the public to his state after today, but earlier this year he said he would come back if the circumstances demanded it, and just last month I think he said he will stay around.
I don't wish her luck, I wish México luck.
What’s an AMLO?
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the last president
Thanks!
I definitely share your final sentiment. I meant that more as “if she does well so does the nation” but I recognize that’s not always the case (see: Thatcher, Reagan)
From what I've heard, it'll be a continuation of the same policies. Including leaving the cartels alone.
In all fairness that was probably necessary to make it to the presidency with her head still firmly attached to her body.
Yeah.
A lot of commenters have unrealistic expectations, as though anything less than burning capitalism to the ground is unacceptable.
How dare she allow the country's largest source of revenue to continue producing oil.
I would prefer a president with a doctorate in climate science than one without.
It's a good question. Her policies as mayor were very different from AMLO's, and it's frankly weird that AMLO (a fossil fuel fundamentalist and Trump-like populist) had a PhD climate scientist as his successor. But she is officially his successor and kept a lot of AMLO people. There's no easy answers, we'll just have to wait and see.
Best hopes and wishes to her! A left-wing landslide is a good thing to see in a time of increasing far-right influence.
She is the heiress to an industrial chemical corporation, with an aweful record, who uses her climate expertise, primarily, to spin positive PR for her, environment destroying, corporation.
Oh well that fucking sucks. Way to use your talents for evil.
Sauce plz
Not sure about her record, but the entry on Wikipedia says her mom works/worked at UNAM (one of the most famous Mexican universities). She was hired there and received some awards. Hard to say, but it has the smell of nepotism at the very least.
Her family mostly seems to associate with middle class directors, politicians and faculty. Definitely more privileged than the average Mexican, not much different than a US president. I’m guessing the policies will be what you’d expect with maybe a spin for the plebeians to think she’s on their side (again, much like the US).
Left wing? Where?
As long as you mean a landslide win by a party lead by a guy who said a religious charm was better during the pandemic than any medication, vaccine or any countermeasure, a guy who said "women deserve to go to heaven" when asked if he's feminist, a guy who has said all the power should be concentrated in the government, not in independent entities, a guy who said eolic turbines make the landscape ugly, and who made two big investments in refineries during his administration... Yeah, it's a good thing to see the left-wing in the power.
………………good? …………….. good luck?

Where can one submit requests for re-evaluation? Seems like the NYT's credibility and factuality have dropped significantly during the last year

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
