STORYLINE:
Mexico’s incoming President Claudia Sheinbaum continued to fill out her future cabinet Thursday.
She unveiled another five future ministers after announcing her first six picks last week.
Sheinbaum, of the ruling Morena party, romped to victory in the June 2 election.
Herself a climate scientist and former academic, she appointed scientists and former colleagues while maintaining her commitment to an even gender distribution.
One of them is the future Secretary of Energy, Luz Elena González, an expert in sustainable development who was in charge of Mexico City’s finances.
At the head of the Civil Service will be Raquel Buenrostro, current head of the economy who also directed Mexico’s tax service.
The renowned researcher David Kershenobich will be the next Secretary of Health.
The Secretary of Infrastructure of Mexico City, Jesús Antonio Esteva Medina, will be in charge of Communications and Transportation.
Edna Elena Vega Rangel, who also worked in the city’s capital, will be tasked with Mexico’s agrarian, territorial, and urban development.
The day after the elections, Sheinbaum confirmed the current Secretary of Finance in her cabinet, Rogelio Ramírez de la O, in an attempt to give peace of mind to the markets after the peso dropped.
The question remains who will be in charge of Security, with the tremendous responsibility of reducing violence that is plaguing the country.
Sheinbaum will become the first female president of Mexico on October 1.
