Mexico Elects First Female and First Jewish President

She is a leftist.

Anyway, days before the election I messaged my dentist in Guadalajara about the election. She said she doesn’t like any of the candidates. I asked her since Sheinbaum is a scientist, is she going to bring tech jobs to Mexico? She said no, they’re all controlled by Cuba and Venezuela.

Today I found this:

She’s an environmental engineer. Is that a scientist?
Or she get to PhD level and write papers?

I just went off of Wikipedia.

Apparently she wrote over 100 articles.

Engineer is a more precise descriptor.

I guess this is the new Mexico thread, so here goes:

Mexico freezes relations with US, Canadian embassies (msn.com)

Mexico’s president has put relations with the United States and Canadian embassies “on pause” after they voiced concerns over a proposed judicial overhaul plan.The Mexican government has paused its engagement with the ambassadors of the United States and Canada, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Tuesday.

The decision comes in the wake of criticism over a sweeping judicial reform proposal in Mexico.

“There is a pause,” Lopez Obrador said in a press conference, clarifying that the freeze was with the embassies, from where the criticism came, and not with the countries.

The judicial overhaul plan, suggested by the Mexican president during his final weeks in office, has sparked protests and strikes, and criticism from investors and financial institutions.

What prompted the Mexican ‘pause’?

Last week, US ambassador Ken Salazar called the judicial overhaul proposal a “risk” to democracy that would endanger Mexico’s commercial relationship with Washington. Lopez Obrador chided the ambassador, saying he violated Mexican sovereignty.

Salazar has since softened his tone, writing on X that he was open to dialogue. He added on Tuesday that “we always work with the utmost respect for Mexico’s sovereignty.”

Lopez Obrador pointed the finger at the US State Department, which the Mexican president believed was behind Salazar’s criticism.

We’re not going to tell him (Salazar) to leave the country," he said. “I hope that they promise to be respectful of Mexican’s independence, of our country’s sovereignty. But until that happens, and they continue these policies, it’s on pause.”

Lopez Obrador also accused Canada’s ambassador of interfering in Mexico’s internal affairs for expressing apprehension about the judicial proposal.

Mexico, the United States and Canada share a commercial relationship that reached an estimated $1.8 trillion (E1.61 trillion) in trade in 2022, according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative.

Have to install an app to read the article

Really, I clicked on link and website story appeared.

Sometimes with their articles I get a button saying “expand article” but sometimes there’s only a button to open in the app.

Article up in full.

Hopefully, this won’t affect my doing down there for dental work in October.

Writing papers is an important part of science
