Mexico City
In Mexico, FNF seeks to promote liberal ideas by fostering a market economy, the rule of law, and civic education. We work on topics such as innovation, digitization, and the open market because an innovative and open society can promote the global freedom of individuals. Development depends on the ability of people to cooperate voluntarily to transform their creativity into value for others. We work together with Mexican organizations and civil society to promote the rule of law and a stronger democracy in which human rights are defended, and where good governance is a priority.

Mexico elects its first female president and gives her extreme power
On Sunday, June 2, over 20,000 elective offices were voted on in Mexico - the largest election in the country's history. Claudia Sheinbaum, former mayor of Mexico City and climate scientist, won the presidential election by more than thirty points, making her the first woman president. These are very positive milestones in a country that is still characterized by machismo and is predominantly Catholic. In contrast, the ruling party's equally overwhelming victory in Congress represents more of a risk for Mexican democracy, as it gives the government the power to make far-reaching changes to the constitution.
