Claudia Sheinbaum

Claudia Sheinbaum has faced various controversies and allegations throughout her career, though she has not been personally convicted of crimes. Critics have tied her to the 2017 collapse of the Colegio Rébsamen, the 2021 Mexico City Metro overpass collapse, and handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. While she denied initial knowledge of family links to the Panama Papers, she later acknowledged inherited accounts while asserting they involved no illicit activity. Her Mexico City administration saw the indictment of her first security secretary for corruption, though she was not charged. Sheinbaum maintains her independence from predecessor Andrés Manuel López Obrador and has publicly demanded the resignation of Morena party officials involved in corruption.
