Another aspect that has marked the Sheinbaum administration is the clash with the feminist movement, warns Karolina Gilas, a professor at the Faculty of Political Science at UNAM and a member of the Network of Political Scientists.
While organizations and activists have demanded that she criminalize protests against gender violence, the president, in an interview with The weekly countrySaid: “I do not agree with who says that, as women have suffered violence, we have the right to violate.”
“This was not very well received by the feminist movement and different organizations, because it just shows that lack of understanding of the situation, of the strength and gravity of that anger and exhaustion that women have not only in the city, but also in the country, in the face of all the structural violence that we are experiencing, “Gilas explains.
For Mónica Tapia, director of Ruta Cívica, the Sheinbaum government began with great expectations after the cases of corruption during the administration of Miguel Ángel Mancera, but it has remained a duty on issues such as reconstruction after the # 19S earthquake. The commitment was that it would end in 2021, although it is still in process.
In addition, Tapia considers that there has been a closure to dialogue and social participation by the president, reflected in the construction of a vehicular bridge in Periférico Sur and Canal Nacional over what was a wetland, despite opposition from civil organizations.
“She was an environmentalist who built, imposed, sent her officials to tell lies, criticize and take away the legitimacy of many people that their officials know very well from years of work. That vehicular bridge is a kind of Mayan Train and Dos Bocas Refinery in the city, “he says.
