The possibility of Mexico having its first female president is closer than ever. The ruling party Claudia Sheinbaum and the opposition party Xóchitl Gálvez are the two leaders in the race towards the elections on June 2.
EL PAÍS speaks with several experts, academics, politicians and feminist activists to find out what they think of the coming panorama and whether Equality policies will be a reality beyond electoral speeches. “We have to see the arrival of a woman to the presidency as a triumph, even if none of them are feminists,” says journalist and activist Lucía Lagunes.
