President!\u201d and \u201cLong live Mexico!\u201d \u201cNow is the time of transformation, now is the time of women,\u201d Sheinbaum said.<\/p>\n<p>She enters office with her party holding supermajority control in the legislature\u2019s lower house, and nearly the same in the Senate, and immediately sought to reassure investors, saying that investments will be safe in Mexico, reported Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n<p>Sheinbaum will need to contend with some last-minute moves by Lopez Obrador, namely a controversial judicial overhaul that will see federal judges \u2013 including those on the Supreme Court \u2013 elected by popular vote. The constitutional change has roiled both advocates of judicial independence and investors.<\/p>\n<p>The incoming president will also be navigating a US election on November 5 that could shift relations with Mexico\u2019s top trading partner.<\/p>\n<p>Later in November, she will deliver her government\u2019s first budget, which will likely give clues as to whether Sheinbaum can make good on commitments to reduce the country\u2019s widening fiscal deficit while maintaining popular welfare spending and costly crime-fighting initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>That task comes at a time when Mexico\u2019s economy, the second-largest in Latin America, is forecasted to have only modest growth.<\/p>\n<h6><em><strong>ENDS<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheinbaum took the oath of office in front of parliamentarians, as her supporters chanted \u201cPresident!
