Claudia Sheinbaum’s landslide victory is a danger for Mexico

The thumping win is thanks in part to Morena’s redistributive policies, a combination of cash transfers and constant rises in the minimum wage. Ms Sheinbaum’s share of the vote was higher in poorer parts of the country, though she prevailed in all but one of Mexico’s 32 states. “I don’t receive anything but I am happy that students, old people and people of limited means have support,” says Miriam Salazar, a 42-year-old architect in Mexico City.
