On October 1st, 2024, Claudia Sheinbaum was inaugurated as the President of Mexico<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In doing so, she followed the inauguration ceremony with certain traditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony is held in the Legislative Palace of San Lazaro, meeting place of the C\u00e1mara de Diputados<\/em>, Mexican equivalent of the House of Representatives. In attendance were the Mexican Congress and dignitaries; and some foreign guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE PRESIDENTIAL OATH<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the U.S. inauguration, the new president has his left hand on the Bible and his right hand upraised, with the oath administered by the Chief Justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Mexican ceremony, no Bible is used, and the oath is not administered by the Chief Justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a photo of Claudia Sheinbaum performing the presidential oath. To her right is Chief Justice<\/a> Norma Luc\u00eda Pi\u00f1a Hern\u00e1ndez . The seated individual is 94-year old Ifigenia Martinez, Speaker of the House<\/a>. At the back is outgoing president AMLO, still wearing the presidential sash.

When Americans see Mexicans performing an oath or salute with outstretched arm, they immediately associate it with the Nazis. However, various societies have used this type of salute, it was not invented by the Nazis. In fact, in the United States it was used by schoolchildren saluting the flag until 1942, when it was changed so as not to look like a Nazi salute. So no, it’s not a Nazi salute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the text of the Mexican presidential oath: “Protesto guardar y hacer guardar la Constituci\u00f3n Pol\u00edtica de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos y las leyes que de ella emanen, y desempe\u00f1ar leal y patri\u00f3ticamente el cargo de Presidenta de la Rep\u00fablica que el pueblo me ha conferido, mirando en todo por el bien y prosperidad de la Uni\u00f3n; y si as\u00ed no lo hiciere que la Naci\u00f3n me lo demande.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an English translation, from Wikipedia<\/a>: “I affirm to follow and uphold the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States and the laws that emanate from it, and to perform loyally and patriotically the office of President of the Republic which the people have conferred upon me, in all actions looking after the good and prosperity of the Union; and if I were not to do so, may the Nation demand it of me.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE PRESIDENTIAL SASH<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On ceremonial occasions, the President of Mexico wears a ceremonial sash. Outgoing president AMLO (Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador) arrived to the Chamber wearing the presidential sash. After her oath, Claudia Sheinbaum received the presidential sash, indicating that she is now the president.
