• Claudia Sheinbaum's electoral victory represents a risk and opportunity for Mexico.
• Sheinbaum is the first female president of Mexico and needs to distance herself from the divisive modes of her predecessor.
• She faces the task of reversing the insecurity and power of drug cartels.
• The National Regeneration Movement's (Morena) battle against poverty has reinforced Sheinbaum but consolidates a paternalistic vision of the state.
• Faced with citizen distrust in traditional parties, the stabilization of the economy has been a boost for Sheinbaum.

Conclusion: The future of Mexico, whether towards democracy or polarization and institutional regression, is in the hands of Claudia Sheinbaum.
