facing her as she stepped into the role of president elect will be that of security. how does she take the violence that was so on display during the most bloody election campaign in living memory in mexico, and develop coherent and strong security strategies to tackle it? those are questions to come, but for now, mexicans are just getting used to the idea that they have finally broken through, that a woman is going to be president, taking over in october. and for claudia 0ctober. and for claudia sheinbaum, a moment of history that she is still no doubt savouring. i spoke to maria fernanda bozmoski, deputy director of the adrienne arsht latin america center at the atlantic council. for the first time, there is a female president notjust in mexico but in the whole of north america. put into context how significant this is.
