World Questions: Mexico
Drug violence, poverty, democracy: A Mexican panel debates the country's big issues
Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s first female President takes office while protests still rage over changes to the constitution. World Questions explores the challenges she faces with a sharply divided panel facing questions from around the country. Does scrapping the national police force and putting the army on the street, mean a safer Mexico? Will forcing the country’s judges to fight for election loosen the grip of the drug cartels? Is it time to ban bullfighting for good? What is the future for relations with the USA? Jonny Dymond presents a deeply felt debate from a country undergoing change.

Denise Dresser, writer and Professor of Political Science at Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de Mexico
