“I am very happy to have the opportunity to help women with this new program,” said Montiel, who will reinforce social policies and support for women over 64 years old.
Claudia Sheinbaum’s text reads, “We’ll continue to recognize and realize all rights for all people.” The inner text reads, “100 steps to transformation. Our government will respect religious, political, social, cultural, and sexual freedom. NO to discrimination, racism, and classism in Mexico.”
