Zohran Mamdani's victory in the most populous city of the United States, along with Democratic wins in Virginia, New Jersey, and key cities like Detroit and Atlanta, dealt a strong blow to Trump. The capital's mandate holder stated, 'His victory is a beacon of hope for those of us who believe in the right to the city and in governments that put people at the center.' From Mexico City, we extend our sincerest congratulations to Zohran Mamdani for his historic victory, a sister city with whom we share struggles, dreams, and hopes. Mamdani's story, born in Uganda and arriving in the U.S. as part of a migrant family, also generates enthusiasm in the international progressive movement and Mexico, considering Trump's tensions with the Latin American community and violent raids to expel people from the country. The head of government, Clara Brugada, celebrated Mamdani's commitment to inclusion, well-being, and social and territorial justice, values that also guide their own transformation. She wished him 'the greatest success at the helm of one of the most diverse and vibrant capitals in the world.' The defeat of Trump and the new political map in the U.S. prompted the head of government to celebrate Mamdani's victory with special enthusiasm. The electoral triumph of the now-elected mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, has generated strong worldwide repercussions due to his ambitious project plan. Like the former mayor of Iztapalapa, the Ugandan-born future mayor seeks to combat inequalities in the world's financial capital, curb the excessive rise in rents, and improve the public transportation system to reduce disparities between the city center and the peripheries.
