Claudia Sheinbaum will take office as Mexico’s new president next week, on October 1, 2024. Often described as a technocrat, she also supports some of current President AMLO’s more controversial policies, such as the judicial reform that was just approved. In this episode Vanessa Rubio, a professor at the London School of Economics and a former senator and deputy minister, shares what she expects from Sheinbaum’s government. Rubio argues her administration will take shape as a new blend—one that could be deemed “techno-populist.”
