Mexico Elects First Female President
Mexico makes history with the election of its first female president, Claudia Shemba. The country witnesses a significant moment as women like 80-year-old Minerva Perez Carrera, who was born before women could vote, cast their ballots for the woman engineer turned president. Despite the historical milestone of electing a female leader, the elections are marred by violence, with over 30 candidates being assassinated during the season. The election signifies a country of contrasts, where celebration follows tragedy and a traditionally Machista society elects a woman president, shattering a 200-year-old glass ceiling.
