What would Claudia Sheinbaum’s seal be?
When asked what would distinguish her from winning the elections, Sheinbaum first responded that “she is a woman born in Mexico City,” but then she highlighted that one of her personal projects, since she was a researcher, is to accelerate the energy transformation.

The role of entrepreneurs
Claudia Sheinbaum spoke about the role of cooperation between businessmen and government and noted that she would also have a business council.

Regarding entrepreneurs, Sheinbaum said that we are at a time when foreign investment allows the development of high-impact businesses, but that “support must be generated for small and medium-sized businesses.”
“This investment must be facilitated, but at the same time it does not generate great environmental impacts and generates well-being. It is not just about the great macroeconomic indicators, but about how to have investment for all Mexicans.”

Different projects from Xóchitl Gálvez and Claudia Sheinbaum
The coordinator of the Defense Committees of the Fourth Transformation pointed out that the fact that a woman can come to power shows how the political participation of women has increased and that there are more and more female governors, more municipal presidents and more deputies.
