STORYLINE:
Newly inaugurated Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum attended a mass rally in Mexico City’s colonial-era main plaza, participating in a ceremony in which Indigenous women performed a traditional cleansing ritual on her.
During the ceremony, the women handed Sheinbaum a ‘staff of authority.’
"I didn’t get here alone, I got here with all the women of Mexico," said Sheinbaum during her speech.
Sheinbaum took the oath of office Tuesday as Mexico’s first female president in more than 200 years of independence, promising to protect an expanded social safety net and fight for the poor like her predecessor. But she will face pressing problems.
The 62-year-old scientist-turned-politician will receive a country with a number of immediate challenges, foremost among them stubbornly high levels of violence, a sluggish economy and hurricane-battered Acapulco.
Sheinbaum romped to victory in June with nearly 60% of the vote, propelled largely by the sustained popularity of her political mentor, former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
