sash

Tina Knowles has explained that ‘Beyincé,’ the name emblazoned on daughter Beyonce’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ sash, traces back to her loved ones’ birth certificates.

López Obrador – a hugely popular but controversial figure in Mexico – bequeathed more than just the presidential sash to his political protégé.

Martínez, her breathing labored, received the presidential sash — featuring the colors of the Mexican flag and embossed with a gold-threaded national coat of arms— from the outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and presented it to Sheinbaum, symbolically finalizing the transfer of power.

“On June 2, I voted for Ifigenia Martínez, a principled woman of convictions. On Oct. 1, I received the presidential sash from her hands. Today she left us,” Sheinbaum wrote.

The passing of the presidential sash every six years is always an important and symbolic occasion in Mexico.
