On MORENA and Claudia Sheinbaum's huge victory.
Mexico has elected its first woman president, tasked with extending the hugely popular AMLO'S legacy. What are her prospects and challenges? We ask:
-
What was the effect of NAFTA on Mexico, and particularly manufacturing?
-
How is US-China competition playing out in Mexico?
-
Why did Trump and leftist AMLO get along? What about Scheinbaum and Trump?
-
How does the politics of migration play out in Mexico?
-
How come there is no hardline Mexican right, especially given the problems of crime and drug trafficking?
-
Can other countries follow MORENA's example of centre-left success?
