STORYLINE:
Mexico’s President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum continued to introduce members of her future cabinet Thursday.
She unveiled another three future ministers after announcing several other picks over the last month.
Sheinbaum, of the ruling Morena party, romped to victory in the June 2 election.
Climate scientist and former academic herself, she has appointed scientists, academics and former colleagues while maintaining her commitment to an even gender distribution.
Marath Baruch Bolaños will keep his job as secretary of Labor, Sheinbaum said.
Baruch Bolaños, 38, has held the position for a little over a year under outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Sheinbaum has also allowed several other officials who served under López Obrador to remain in the cabinet.
At the head of Tourism, one of the country’s main sources of income, will be Josefina Rodríguez Zamora, who now holds the same post in the state of Tlaxcala, east of the capital.
The 35-year-old graduate in Business Administration will be the youngest in Sheinbaum’s cabinet.
The Secretary of Culture of Mexico City, Claudia Curiel, will be tasked with the same job in the federal government.
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.
She chose her rival in the primaries, former Foreign Affairs Secretary Marcelo Ebrard, to be her administration’s economy secretary.
Sheinbaum will become the first female president of Mexico on October 1.
