Making Mexico Even Better!

As president, Claudia wants to make Mexico a better place. She's working on new rules to help people, like making sure everyone has enough to eat and a safe place to live. She's also focused on making sure Mexico has clean energy, like from the sun and wind, instead of things that can hurt the air. She's like a super-planner, making sure the country is strong and healthy for everyone.
