Claudia Sheinbaum has been elected president of Mexico. She will be the first woman to lead this large country of 130 million inhabitants, a hub of illegal immigration. The challenge is immense in the face of repeated violence from drug cartels that his predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, was unable to curb. We must also rejoice at the fact that Mexicans, the vast majority of whom are practicing Catholics, elected a woman of Jewish religion, which indicates that the electorate had the wisdom to vote according to merit and not according to sex, race or ethnicity. religion. This is what I would call true secularism and a good way to respond to the far right and anti-Semitism.
It will be interesting to see to what extent she dares to criticize certain controversial policies of Netanyahu and the Palestinian state without being called an anti-Semite.
I would also like to see the ayatollahs and other heads of Muslim theocracies congratulate Mr.me Sheinbaum for his victory.
Will the world one day understand that political power must be separated from religious power?
