things to know about Claudia Sheinbaum, the first woman elected president of Mexico

first woman elected president mexico

Here are 6 things to know about Claudia Sheinbaum, who became the first woman elected president of Mexico on Sunday.

1 - The first woman elected president of Mexico

Aged 61, Claudia Sheinbaum made Mexican history on Sunday, becoming the first woman elected as head of the country since its independence in 1821.

The new president also announced that she had not voted for herself on Sunday, but for a pioneer of the Mexican left, Ifigenia Martinez, aged 93.

2 - She is an environmental scientist

Raised by a biochemist mother and a chemist father, Claudia Sheinbaum holds a master's degree in energy engineering from the University of Mexico (UNAM), as well as a doctorate in energy engineering which she earned through work at Lawrence National Laboratory -Berkley of the US Department of Energy.

She has published dozens of scientific articles on energy efficiency, her favorite field. She also wrote part of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report in 2007, the year the group won the Nobel Peace Prize.

3 – She was mayor of Mexico City

She served as mayor of Mexico City, the country's capital, between 2018 and 2023. She is best known for increasing security on the streets and making life difficult for criminal gang leaders.

However, her years as mayor were also marred by the tragic collapse of a metro line when a train passed by on May 3, 2021. The tragedy left 27 dead and 79 injured.

The new president's government was singled out in the affair because reports showed that the accident was caused by construction defects.

4 – She succeeds her mentor

On October 1, the 61-year-old will take over from her political mentor, outgoing left-wing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, nicknamed AMLO.

When he was mayor of Mexico City between 2000 and 2006, he entrusted him with one of the most important portfolios in the administration, that of the environment. A strategic position in the megacity which had nine million inhabitants in 2023.

Claudia Sheinbaum thus contributed to the construction of the second floor of the “ring road”, a transport system set up to relieve congestion on one of the urban highways which crosses Mexico City. She is also behind the development of reserved bus lanes and cycle paths in the metropolis.

5 – She wants to fight against femicide

According to UN Women, 70% of Mexican women over the age of 15 have experienced gender-based violence at least once in their life, including sexual harassment and abuse.

The president-elect “will have a specific policy towards feminicides, which Lopez Obrador did not want to have”, hopes Pamela Starr, expert on Mexico at the University of Southern California.

Ms. Sheinbaum proposes creating teams dedicated to investigating feminicides. At the end of 2022, she accused the prosecutor's office in Morelos, a state south of Mexico, of protecting the alleged murderer of a young woman who disappeared in the capital.

6 – She wants to take on the cartels

To tackle cartels and violence in the country, she promised to target the causes of violence, strengthen the National Guard, and move towards a policy of “zero impunity” against criminals.

“We will lead Mexico on the path to peace and security,” Sheinbaum said after announcing her victory.

Cartels and violence have marked this electoral campaign. 37 political candidates have been killed in Mexico in recent months, including legislative and local elections that took place during the same period. 27,000 soldiers were mobilized on Sunday to ensure the security of the vote.

Taylor Swift ignited Groupama Stadium

taylor swift ignited groupama stadium

On Sunday June 2, 2024, in Lyon metropolis, Taylor Swift set Groupama Stadium in Décines-Charpieu on fire 

The American star gave nearly 3.5 hours of show for the first Lyon date of his "The Eras Tour" on Sunday June 2 at Groupama Stadium.

Almost 3h30 of show, 40 hits linked together without a hitch and without false notes, carefully staged scenes, fans called the Swifties in full hysteria and in perfect communion: Taylor Swift ignited Groupama Stadium in Décines-Charpieu, in the metropolis of Lyon, Sunday June 2, 2024.

The American star who hits cities as well as hits gave his first mega concert of his two dates in Lyon.

Countdown, XXL screen and masterful entrance

Fans fought for a seat. The 34-year-old American, who has exceeded a billion dollars in personal fortune, can boast of moving crowds around the world. Last night among the 63,000 spectators, Americans, Spaniards, English and of course French, at home.

It is 8:10 p.m. when a giant countdown on a clock is displayed on an XXL screen in front of the monumental stage set up on the lawn of Groupama Stadium. After the last ten seconds are counted down by excited Swifties, the show begins. And the least we can say is that we’re going to be amazed by it.

His entrance is masterful. Taylor swift ignited Groupama Stadium. Sorts of orange peacock plumes emerge one by one from the screen in the smoke and advance at length towards the pit. They gather at the end, bend down and when they get up, they reveal the singer in the middle of fifteen dancers.

“Lyon, enchanted”

After four dates in Paris in May, the singer learned a few words of French. Sweet words for his fans who are raising the temperature in the stadium. Swifties never put down their phones, know every word to his songs and scream with every bat of their idol's eyelashes.

“Lyon, enchanted,” exclaims Taylor Swift at the start of the concert. 

During the concert, it is in French in the text that she declares her love to her fans. “I love you all,” she said to the screams. “C’est ma première fois à Lyon, c’est incroyable. Ne pas avoir assez fait de concerts en France, je ne ferai pas cette erreur à nouveau !". "Je vous aime tous"

Over 40 tracks, no downtime and incredible outfits

The star's contract is respected. For her “The Eras Tour”, she reviews her entire career, from well-known hits like “Cruel Summer”, “Karma”, “Shake it off”, “Delicate” through more confidential titles for the general public , best known to Swifties.

Taylor Swift had a series of charts and hits, more than 40 in 3 hours 20 minutes of show.

Taylor Swift's strength is the sequence of paintings, without interruption. She performs “Were are never ever getting back together” and “All too well” alone with her acoustic guitar then sways amidst smoke and moving cube-shaped stages on “Shake it off”. She also masters the piano perfectly live.

It is impossible here to reveal all the paintings which follow one another at full speed. Walls of flame, smoke, decorations, XXL dresses, fanfares: Taylor Swift arrived with a huge American-style device.

The rain doesn't stop Taylor Swift

The bad weather neither cooled the Swifties nor the singer. In the pouring rain, she performed several of her songs including “Enchanted” in a long princess dress, without stopping. The artist is used to it and it’s not the drops in Lyon that will stop him. In May 2023, she performed for 3.5 hours in torrential rain during a date in the United States.

The finale is explosive with fireworks and pyrotechnic effects after 3h20 of show without break. Too long ? The public who came to accompany the die-hard fans may have found the time long. But not the Swifties who are still asking for more. Some will even be present this Monday evening for the singer's second Lyon the Eras tour concert.

The organization of Groupama Stadium criticized

While fans loved Taylor Swift's performance, many Swifties didn't really like the organization of the event. According to comments on site, access to the pit was difficult at certain stadium doors when the doors opened. It took more than 30 minutes to enter the stadium which annoyed some spectators who missed the start of the first part provided by Paramore. 

Leaving the stadium was also complicated. At 1 a.m., fans were still waiting in the queue for the tram shuttles even though the last departure was announced for 12:15 a.m. 

Many foreign fans were looking for taxis and VTCs, particularly numerous around the stadium, which caused huge traffic jams and a lot of irritation after the show. The organizers still have a few hours to correct the situation and make amends with the Swifties…

The presence of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and friend of Taylor Swift at the American Airlines Center did not go unnoticed

Travis Kelce has decided to experience Stanley Cup playoff fever.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended Game 2 of the Western Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Dallas Stars at the American Airlines Center on Saturday. He was spotted in a dressing room with friends.

On social media, the Stars joked that they had a Blank Space on their jersey so Kelce could write his name on it, a reference to the song by his friend, singer Taylor Swift.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes let it be known that his teammate was not welcome in his native region…

Kelce then responded by exposing his inability to skate.

The Stanley Cup semifinal will be the ninth all-time post-season meeting Oilers vs. Stars

Earlier this year, the three-time Super Bowl champion revealed his love of hockey and Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard in an episode of his New Heights podcast.

Oilers vs. Stars

The Oilers began Game 2 on Saturday how they wanted to by building a 16-5 shot advantage in the opening frame, but they couldn't turn that up-tempo start into an advantage when Connor Brown's first of the playoffs that came 44 seconds after Jamie Benn's opening goal went down as Edmonton's only chance of many that they capitalized on in the opening 20 minutes.

Dallas began to respond over a scoreless middle stanza before Mason Marchment's tip-in less than four minutes into the final frame demonstrated just how slim the margin for error can be when you're this deep into the playoffs.

The forward's goal proved to be the difference to secure the Stars a split of the series after the Oilers' offence came up empty in the final three-quarters of the period against a committed Dallas defence willing to block shots and win battles.

Billie Eilish Sparked Rumors About Taylor Swif

double album sparkled rumors

Billie Eilish Sparked Rumors About Taylor Swift Beef With Her 'Useless' Vinyl Comments, So Eilish Responded, also talking about the newest albums released on the music market, e.g. The Tortured Poets Department and Hit Me Hard and Soft.

A few days ago, Billie Eilish made comments about how some artists were engaging in the "unnecessary" practice of releasing multiple vinyl variants of their double album. Some thought Eilish's criticism was aimed at Taylor Swift, but now Eilish is setting the record straight.

Last night (March 31), Eilish wrote in an Instagram Story post: "Okay, it would be so awesome if people stopped putting words in my mouth and actually read what I said in this article on notice board. I wasn't targeting anyone, these are systemic, industry-wide issues. And when it comes to variations, many artists are releasing them – including ME! what I clearly say in the article. the climate crisis is happening now and it's about all of us being part of the problem and trying to do better, shesh.

As for what Eilish actually said in the Billboard interview published on March 28, here are few lines:

Eilish says she lives in a time where, for whatever reason, it's very important for certain artists to make all kinds of different vinyls and packaging... which increases sales and numbers and makes them more money and brings them more...

Of course, that counts for No. 1 albums. It is just a small and innocent hint related to Hit Me Hard and Soft and The Tortured Poets Department

Eilish can’t even express to you how wasteful this is. It's right in front of hes eyes and people are getting away with it left and right, and she find it really frustrating as someone who's really doing everything possible to be sustainable and do the best they can and try to involve everything the world. on her team to be sustainable – and then it's some of the biggest artists in the world creating 40 different fucking vinyl packs that have one unique thing, just to entice you to keep buying more. It's so wasteful, and it's irritating to her that we're still at a point where you care so much about your numbers and making money - and it's all your favorite artists doing this shit .

A result of computer science job:

 

The Tortured Poets Department

Taylor Swift is idolized by fans and critics for many things, but cardiac massage is a whole new one. And yes, the star recently released a song called “The Tortured Poets Department” which, according to American doctors from the American Heart Association, has “the perfect rhythm for a heart massage”, i.e. 110 beats per minute.

The group of doctors humorously posts on their social networks: “If you see a teenager or adult collapse, call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the rhythm of 'The Tortured Poets Department'”.

It’s the hour of glory for French fans of Taylor Swift, long perceived as “UFOs” or “kids”

In 2024, who in France doesn't know Taylor Swift? All you have to do is go down the street and greet the first passer-by. At the very least, he will have heard about the American singer who chose Paris then Lyon for the resumption of her new world tour, the Eras Tour. Nearly 300,000 tickets were sold, largely to its most loyal fans, commonly known as “Swifties”.

But it has not always been this way in France. If the pop star, personality of the year 2023 according to Time magazine, has several hundred million fans around the world, her success outside the United States has been a long time coming abroad. And particularly in France.

A niche artist

In 2009, Taylor Swift was 20 years old and had just released her second country album, the reckless Fearless. It was the best-selling album in the United States that year and it was with it that she launched her first tour, the Fearless Tour, and then Tortured Poets Department double album. Only in English-speaking countries, except for a stop in Tokyo on February 17, 2010.

Marie Cordier, a midwife living near Annecy (Haute-Savoie), remembers with nostalgia this time when the singer entered her life. “I discovered it while listening to Radio Disney, via the Internet. I was also a Disney Channel fan. She was starting to break through in America, but not at all in France,” says this inveterate enthusiast of American culture, now 27 years old. “I always wondered why I got hooked so quickly. Country is not the kind of music you listen to at 12 years old... But it was above all the texts and lyrics that grabbed me: I immediately recognized her talents as a lyricist,” he assures. She.

In the memory of these early Swifties, their young American idol played little or no time on the French airwaves. Most discovered it on Anglo-American radio or television channels. This is the case of Dina Carraca, 31 years old. “French culture, in 2006, was not very US. I started hearing about her because I watched MTV a lot. One thing led to another, and I became interested in Taylor Swift,” explains this medical device sales manager in Cher. She particularly remembers the altercation, on the set of the MTV Awards, between Kanye West and Taylor Swift who had just won the prize. While she was singing on stage, the rapper interrupted her and snatched the trophy from her hands, loudly proclaiming that it should go to Beyoncé.
