Mexico’s first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum, will be sworn in next Tuesday, Oct. 1, which will now be a federal holiday observed every six years when a new president takes office.
The law to make Inauguration Day on Oct. 1 an official national holiday was approved in the Senate last week and passed in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday with 397 votes in favor.
As published in the federal gazette, the new law declares that: “The Oct. 1 holiday not only implies a change of leadership in the federal government, but also establishes the day as a moment of rest, reflection, and the preservation of our cultural, civic and political heritage such that the nation is united via the celebration of our democracy as well as the country’s political, economic and social stability.”
