On the agenda, in addition to the presentation of the "Bastón de Mando", there was also an official photo opportunity with the newly appointed cabinet for the term from 2024 to 2030. The city's security forces monitored the amount and ensured that everything went smoothly.

first speech and official inauguration

Overall, the date for Mexico was of enormous importance, since not only the transition to the first president was celebrated, but also a first step into a new era in which the Bundestag is equal - with 250 male and female MPs each. Sheinbaum, which was previously Mayor of Mexico City, was celebrated as a model for many and is a key figure for further equality in politics.

Your official inaugural speech, which she held after the transfer of the presidential bandage, was filled with powerful words: "We women are here to steer the fate of our nation." This underlined their commitment to gender justice and the strengthening of the role of women in politics. This moment should not only be seen as a personal triumph for Sherinbaum, but also as an important step for society, which is becoming increasingly inclusive and equal.

The solemn act that was expected in the afternoon included the handover of the "Bastón de Mando" by representatives of 70 indigenous and African -sexic communities. The traditional staff is considered a significant sign of power and obliges the carrier to responsibility towards the countries and communities of Mexico.

at a time when the dialogue between tradition and modern state is required, the ceremony shows the variety of voices that should be heard in Mexican politics. The "Bastón de Mando", which was specially made by a local carpenter, therefore stands not only for the transmission of power, but also for the cultural connections that shape Mexico.
