See this photograph from 1885? A wealthy Jewish household from Plovdiv was photographed on it. The straight younger man is the great-grandfather of the brand new president of Mexico. His title is Bohor (Avram) Kalev. He’s the daddy of Matidla (Madeleine) Kalev, who’s the grandmother of the newly elected head of state, Claudia.

“Bohor Kalev is definitely the progenitor of the Jews who emigrated to Mexico. And the boy in entrance is my grandfather Eliezer Nissim Kalev, the brother of Claudia’s great-great-grandfather,” provides Prof. Anawi. And he emphasizes his direct kinship with Scheinbaum.
The story is lengthy and sophisticated. At the start of the final century, Plovdiv had about 30,000 inhabitants. Of those, 5,000 have been Jews. The household from which Claudia’s ancestry started was undoubtedly fairly wealthy. Earlier than the Liberation, there was no banking within the Bulgarian lands. The corporate of Nisim Eliezer Kalev existed and continued to function initially of the twentieth century. “However in 1911, Nisim Kalev, a wealthy usurer, registered the brand new buying and selling home underneath the title “Nisim Kalev Brothers”, explains Anavi.

“Klaudia’s great-great-grandfather – Bohor Kalev, had the misfortune of getting 6 daughters born to him. One in all them is Sheinbaum’s grandmother – Matilda (Madeleine) Kalev. She married in 1930 in Sofia a person named Pardo. And he or she gave delivery to Ani – the mom of the present president. And her sister Claire might be the mom of Enrico Semo Kalev. It was he who had an distinctive affect on the formation of the leftist beliefs of his niece Claudia,” says the Plovdiv pathologist.
Defines the 93-year-old Marxist as grandfather Blagoev of the Mexican left.
“He’s a Marxist scholar of nice magnitude,” Annawi interjects, describing the sort of individual Claudia Scheinbaum’s mentor is. From him she knew about her Plovdiv ancestry.
Enrico was born in 1930. Seven years later, his household fled Sofia to France. They keep there for a 12 months and after Hitler’s invasion, they head to Mexico. He completed highschool there. The primary Israeli-Arab conflict broke out and he volunteered at 18 to defend Israel. After the conflict, he lived in a left-wing kibbutz. He obtained his first training in economics. However he comes into battle with the kibbutz management due to his strongly left-wing views. He returned to Mexico in 1957 and graduated in historical past. He grew to become a college professor, however had anarchist beliefs. Due to them he goes to jail. However in 1968, in reference to the Olympics in Mexico, nice pupil unrest broke out, and one in all their calls for was the discharge of Enrico.
“Claudia even now advertises that she helps the concepts of 1968,” Anavi interjects.
The federal government then relented and launched the anarchist Marxist. He was seconded to show on the Humboldt College in Berlin.
“In 1969, a delegation of the Mexican Communist Get together arrived in our nation, and he joined it from Berlin and got here to Sofia. He needed to see his mom’s hometown of Plovdiv. And that is how we established a relationship,” recollects Assoc. Anavi. After that, for 50 years, their contacts have been suspended. Whereas in 2018, the pathologist discovered that Claudia Sheinbaum was elected mayor of Mexico Metropolis. And renews his correspondence with Enrico.
“I do not know a lot about Claudia besides that she is an organizer of the Moreno get together, which is left-liberal. Each branches of her household are communist. Her mom, Annie, is a professor of cell biology and offers with a uncommon however spontaneous and deadly illness of lungs – idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. It has the best scientific ranking in Mexico,” provides Anawi.
What number of different Bulgarians have been born with the brand new Mexican president, the docent commented modestly.
“As of as we speak, Daniel Laurer claims that he’s a Pardo on his mom’s facet, which is feasible. And Solomon Passy says that he’s additionally associated to Sheinbaum. Good. However Passy’s relationship with our household is someday within the late nineteenth century says Anavi.
There isn’t a have to predict whether or not Claudia will sooner or later go to Plovdiv.
