Combating drug cartels as well as thwarting gun violence is inevitably another indicator upon which her presidency will be judged upon. President-elect Sheinbaum has promised to go full throttle on kingpins in search for a crime free country.
Running a fiscal responsible government has for many years been a louder cry of most Mexicans. Her robust plan involves cutting down a large chunk of governmental officials most of who increase government expenditure over developmental schemes.
