sash

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

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

Mexico City time, Sheinbaum will don the symbolic presidential sash — embroidered with the Mexican tricolor and embossed with the gold-threaded national coat of arms.

“We could do a sash, I guess!” she added.

She topped off her outfit with a sash emblazoned with: “Women win the vote.”
