Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo (born 24 June 1962) is a Mexican politician, scientist, and academic. Sheinbaum served as Head of Government of Mexico City, a position equivalent to that of a state governor, from 2018 to 2023. Elected as the candidate of the leftist Juntos Haremos Historia coalition, she was both the first woman and first Jewish person to be elected to the position. She is a candidate for President of Mexico in the 2024 Mexican general election.

From 2000 to 2006, Sheinbaum served as Secretary of the Environment under future president Andrés Manuel López Obrador during his tenure as Head of Government. Sheinbaum served as Delegational Chief of the Tlalpan borough from 2015 to 2017 and was elected Head of Government in the 2018 election, where she ran a campaign that emphasized curbing crime and enforcing zoning laws. [1]

A scientist by profession, Sheinbaum received her Ph.D. in energy engineering from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). As an academic, she has authored over 100 articles and two books on energy, the environment, and sustainable development. Sheinbaum contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and in 2018 she was listed as one of BBC's 100 Women. [2]

On 12 June 2023, Sheinbaum resigned from her position as head of government of Mexico City to seek Morena's presidential nomination in the 2024 election. If elected, Sheinbaum would be the first woman to serve as President of Mexico. [3] [4] On 6 September, Sheinbaum secured the party's nomination over her nearest rival, former foreign secretary Marcelo Ebrard. [5] Polling conducted in 2023 has found Sheinbaum to be favored in the 2024 election. [6]

Early life

Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo was born to a secular Jewish family in Mexico City. [7] Her paternal Ashkenazi grandparents emigrated from Lithuania to Mexico City in the 1920s, while her maternal Sephardic grandparents emigrated there from Sofia, Bulgaria, in the early 1940s to escape the Holocaust. She celebrated all the Jewish holidays at her grandparents' homes. [8] [7]

Both of her parents are scientists: her mother, Annie Pardo Cemo  [ es ], is a biologist and professor emeritus of the Faculty of Sciences at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and her father, Carlos Sheinbaum Yoselevitz  [ es ], was a chemical engineer. [9] [8] [10] Her brother Julio is a physicist. [10]

Academic career

Sheinbaum studied physics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) where she earned an undergraduate degree in 1989. She attained a master in 1994. A PhD was awarded in 1995 in energy engineering. [11] [10] [12] [13]

Sheinbaum completed the work for her PhD thesis in the four years between 1991 and 1994 at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. While working for the laboratory, she analyzed the use of energy in the Mexican transportation sector, and published studies on the trends in Mexican building energy use. [14] [15] [16]

In 1995 she joined the faculty at the Institute of Engineering hosted by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). [10] She was a researcher at the Institute of Engineering and is a member of both the Sistema Nacional de Investigadores and the Mexican Academy of Sciences. [17] In 1999 she received the prize of best UNAM young researcher in engineering and technological innovation. [18]

In 2006 Sheinbaum returned to UNAM, after a period in government, publishing articles in scientific journals. [10]

In 2007 she joined the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) at the United Nations in the field of energy and industry, as a contributing co-author on the topic "Mitigation of climate change" for the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. [19] The group won the Nobel Peace Prize that year. [16] In 2013, she co-authored the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report alongside 11 other experts in the field of industry. [20]

Early political career

During her time as a student at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, she was a member of the Consejo Estudiantil Universitario (University Student Council), [21] a group of students that would become the founding youth movement of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD). [22]

[10]

López Obrador included Sheinbaum in his proposed cabinet for the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources as part of his campaign for the 2012 presidential election.

[15] She served as Secretary of the Environment in 2015. [15]

Mayor of Tlalpan

From the end of 2015, Sheinbaum served as the mayor of Tlalpan.

During her term in office, Sheinbaum was accused by the PAN of being culpable for the collapse of an elementary school in a 7.1-level earthquake that killed 19 children in 2017. [7] [29]

On 1 July 2018, Sheinbaum was elected to a six-year term as the head of government of Mexico City, defeating six other candidates. [7] [30] She became Mexico City's first elected female head of government, the second female head of government since Rosario Robles, and its first Jewish head of government. [15] [7]

Tenure

In June 2019, Sheinbaum announced a new six-year environmental plan. It includes reducing air pollution by 30%, planting 15 million trees, banning single-use plastics and promoting recycling, building a new waste separation plant, providing water service to every home, constructing 100 kilometers of corridors for the exclusive use of trolleybus lines and the Mexico City Metrobús system, and constructing and installing solar water heaters and solar panels.

In September 2019, Sheinbaum announced a 40 billion peso (US$2 billion) investment to modernize the Mexico City Metro over the next five years, including modernization, re-strengthening, new trains, improving stations, stairways, train control and automation, user information, and payment systems. [32] The construction of 200 kilometers of bicycle paths, six bicycle stations, 2,500 new bicycles for the Ecobici system, subsidies for public transportation, and the introduction of the Cablebús cable car system in the Iztapalapa borough have aimed to alleviate traffic congestion and improve transit. [33]

As part of her administration's education policy, the "Mi Beca para Empezar" scholarship program was created for 1.2 million students from preschool to secondary education, later elevated to constitutional law in Mexico City. [34] [35] The Rosario Castellanos Institute of Higher Studies and the University of Health were created. [36] [37] In addition, community centers called Pilares ("Pillars") were established in marginalized neighborhoods and towns to promote arts, sports, education, and cultural activities. [38] Sheinbaum was nominated by the City Mayors Foundation for the World Mayor Prize in 2021 in North America for her handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. [39]

In 2021, Sheinbaum removed a Christopher Columbus statue in Mexico city. [40] [41] [42]

During her term as the head of the city, she tackled the problem of insecurity. Under her leadership, the number of homicides dropped by half.[ citation needed ] The environmentalist also prioritized ecological issues, as Mexico City is known for its heavy pollution. [43]

[44] [45] [46] On 6 September 2023, she was officially chosen for the party's nomination in the 2024 election, defeating former foreign secretary Marcelo Ebrard. [5] Sheinbaum has criticized the neoliberal economic policies of past presidents of Mexico, arguing that they have contributed to inequality in the country. [47]

Political views

Social issues

Claudia Sheinbaum has openly identified herself as a feminist, aligning her beliefs and actions with the principles of gender equality and women's rights. [48] She advocates for the legalization of abortion, aligning her stance with broader movements aimed at promoting reproductive rights and autonomy for women. [49] During her leadership in Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum championed LGBT rights by implementing a gender-neutral policy for school uniforms. [50] In 2022, she became the first Head of Government of Mexico City to attend the city's pride march. [51] Claudia Sheinbaum has emerged as a vocal critic of neoliberalism and a staunch opponent of austerity policies. Her stance reflects a commitment to advocating for alternative approaches to governance and economic policy that prioritize social welfare and equitable development.[ citation needed ]

Personal life

In 1986, Sheinbaum met Carlos Ímaz Gispert  [ es ], a prominent political figure, during his tenure at Stanford University. They married in 1987 and separated in 2016. [21] They have a daughter named Mariana, born in 1988. As of 2019, Mariana is pursuing a doctorate in philosophy at the University of California, Santa Cruz. [52] [53]

In 2016, she began dating Jesús María Tarriba Unger, a financial risk analyst for the Bank of Mexico, who she had known in university. [54] In November 2023, Sheinbaum announced her marriage to Tarriba via social media platforms. [54] Sheinbaum became the stepmother of Rodrigo Ímaz Alarcón, born in 1982, who is a filmmaker. [52] [55]

Controversies

Demolition of a chapel in the Colonia Cultura Maya, Tlalpan

On 29 April 2016, during Sheinbaum's tenure as Delegational Chief of Tlalpan, city staff authorized by the Deputy Director of the Legal Bureau and Government, José Edwin Cerón, demolished the Capilla del Señor de los Trabajos (Chapel of the Lord of the Works), a shed with a metal sheet roof that parishioners had placed years ago, on a piece of land located between Tapakan and Yobain Streets, in the Colonia Cultura Maya borough of Mexico City [56] [57] that was part of the parish temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Parish priest Juan Guillermo Blandón Pérez alleged that Sheinbaum was responsible for the demolition, claiming that the demolition was carried out without prior notification. [58] This last church is located one block away north of the chapel, by Hopelchén Street, in the same neighborhood.

In the same block as the chapel is the Maya Culture Community Center. Days after the demolition of the chapel, Sheinbaum met with the bishop of the VI Vicariate of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico, Monsignor Crispín Ojeda Márquez; Armando Martínez, president of the Universidad del Pedregal; and Manuel Santiago, General Director of Works in the demarcation. They agreed to divide the property in half and build a chapel and a community art center. [59]

Enrique Rébsamen Private School

Journalist Eduardo Ruiz-Healy accused Sheinbaum during her tenure as Delegational Chief of Tlalpan of a lack of transparency due to a failure to deliver a complete account of the authorizations and permits for land use, construction, and approval of maintenance, security and operation of the property that the Enrique Rébsamen Private School occupied, and neither, on the expansion of the building [60] up until the 2017 Puebla earthquake, which mainly affected Mexico City, Morelos, Puebla, Tlaxcala, and the State of Mexico. The earthquake caused the total or partial fall of numerous buildings, including a part of the estate occupied by the Enrique Rébsamen Private School, where 19 children and seven adults died. In September 2016, during the Sheinbaum delegational government, the Institute for Administrative Verification ruled that the private school's building infringed on the use of land and exceeded the number of levels allowed, and denounced that the owner, Mónica García Villegas, [61] had shown apocryphal documents. Enrique Fuentes, a lawyer for the group "Angels against Impunity" (Ángeles contra la Impunidad), integrated by parents of the deceased children, pointed out that the Tlalpan Delegation was notified as a "third party involved". He said the delegational chief was obliged to act, but abstained, allowing the school to continue activities. [62]

Background

On 31 August 1983, the Urban Planning Office of the Tlalpan Delegation, through the Construction Licensing Section, issued a construction permit on the land located at the address indicated above for a Kindergarten school, two departments on four levels (the Enrique Rébsamen Private School), when the head of the Federal District Department was the Institutional Revolutionary Party member Ramón Aguirre Velázquez, and the delegation chief in Tlalpan, Guillermo Nieves Jenkin. [63]

In 2014, after an earthquake of 7.2 magnitude, the architect and engineer Juan Mario Velarde Gámez, who presented himself as Director Responsible of the Construction [of the Enrique Rébsamen Private School], stated that the building had "the necessary equipment and security systems for emergencies provided for in the Construction Regulations for the Federal District".

Collapse of Line 12 of the Mexico City Metro

At around 10:22 p.m. on 3 May 2021, several girders, part of the tracks, and two wagons of Line 12 ("Golden Line") of the Mexico City Metro collapsed, between the Olivos and Tezonco metro stations, on Tláhuac Avenue, which also serves as the boundary between the Iztapalapa and Tláhuac boroughs. The casualties were 26 dead, 80 injured, and five missing. Line 12 of the Mexico City Metro was inaugurated on 30 October 2012 by the then Head of Government of Mexico City, Marcelo Ebrard, and the then President of Mexico, Felipe Calderón.

Engineering flaws that had existed since before the line's inauguration became worse over time, necessitating maintenance repairs over the next three years, including an unprecedented closure of the line to re-shape some sections of tracks, and to replace the rails; most of these improvements were carried out during the term of Miguel Ángel Mancera as Head of the Government of Mexico City. On 4 May 2021, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Mexico, Marcelo Ebrard, said that the work was definitively delivered in July 2013, after reviews carried out for seven months, and expressed his willingness to respond and collaborate in the event of any request from the authorities. [64]

The Norwegian company Det Norske Veritas (DNV), in charge of investigating the causes of the collapse of Metro Line 12, detected that one of the beams that collapsed already had structural failures since before the earthquake of 19 September 2017, a factor that had caused problems in the elevated section of the line that collapsed. [65] On 28 June 2021, the general director of the Mexico City Metro, Florencia Serranía  [ es ], who was appointed on 5 December 2018, was removed from her position by Sheinbaum. [66]

Some critics said Sheinbaum and other leaders should have worked harder to improve the Metro's infrastructure. Some political observers have suggested that the political fallout from the crash may harm Sheinbaum's potential candidacy in the 2024 presidential election. [67] [68] The editor of the Mexico City daily newspaper El Financiero , Alejo Sánchez Cano, considered that the responsibility of Sheinbaum is unavoidable, stating that after having been in office for two and a half years she was negligent by not maintaining the metro system. [69]
