Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has launched a comprehensive housing initiative to address the country's housing deficit by building a million homes and offering zero-interest mortgages.

The program, aimed at supporting vulnerable groups, focuses on female-led households, young people, Indigenous communities and senior citizens. The announcement is a fulfillment of Sheinbaum's campaign promise to create affordable housing and promote equitable urban development.

2nd, he took office in 2016. He's not a new criminal

He wasnt a convicted felon then, don't be a pedant

His crime occurred before his presidency. Regardless more than 50% voted for him for the 2nd term... Also he literally sold pardons lmfao

I'm not a fucking idiot, I know that. Calling someone a "felon" implies a conviction.

And he sold off a list of our spies.

And id bet he sold our nuclear secrets to the Saudi's.

And fucking Goya beans, from the desk in the oval office

Just a skeeze all around. One big fucking mook.

And we turned down two women in a row, the most recent one being practically no different from the guy who wasn't great but got 10 million more votes. Mexico is less sexist than the US it would seem

Maybe our two women candidates should have campaigned on affordable housing

[–] SourGumGum@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Or build like 1 million houses for them.
