Resilience and perseverance in the journey of Claudia Sheinbaum. A timeline of obstacles and growth.
Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo is a Mexican politician, scientist, and academic. Most notably, she is the first woman to hold the office of president in Mexico, assuming the role on October 1, 2024. Previously, she served as the Head of Government of Mexico City from 2018 to 2023. Her background blends scientific expertise with a prominent career in Mexican politics.
On 29 April 2016, as mayor of Tlalpan, city staff were ordered to demolish an illegally built wall adjacent to a chapel, which resulted in damage to the chapel's structure and the removal of religious images, leading to allegations against Sheinbaum.
In September 2017, Det Norske Veritas (DNV) found structural failures in Metro Line 12 beams before the earthquake of September 19, a factor in the collapse.
Throughout debates and the campaign, Sheinbaum was accused by Xóchitl Gálvez of being responsible for the collapse of the Colegio Rébsamen during the 2017 Puebla earthquake, the Mexico City Metro overpass collapse, and excess deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico City.
In February 2020, after the first COVID-19 case was confirmed in Mexico City, Sheinbaum addressed the city, stressing the importance of staying informed through official sources despite the low risk.
On May 3, 2021, at approximately 10:22 p.m., a section of Line 12 of the Mexico City Metro collapsed between the Olivos and Tezonco stations, resulting in 26 deaths, 80 injuries, and five missing persons.
On June 28, 2021, Sheinbaum dismissed Florencia Serranía Soto, the general director of the Mexico City Metro, following the collapse of Metro Line 12.
On 6 November 2024, Claudia Sheinbaum congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the 2024 United States presidential election. Following Trump's threats of a 25% tariff on Mexican imports, she warned that such tariffs would risk common businesses.
In 2024, some political observers suggested that the political fallout from the Mexico City Metro disaster could potentially harm Sheinbaum's candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.
