“I have come to thank you for your support, for your backing, for your loyalty to the people of Mexico. And, at the same time, as you have already heard, to present to you the first female president of Mexico in at least 500 years, in five centuries, a historic event that we have to live through to tell about, a president who, I repeat, has already been made clear, is intelligent, prepared, with experience in public service, honest and, something very important, a humanist, a sensitive woman, with good feelings, a good heart,” he said before thousands of soldiers, sailors and national guards.
That same week, on September 13, he presided over the 177th Anniversary of the Battle of Chapultepec Castle and the Boy Heroes, an event to which he also invited Claudia Sheinbaum.

During the patriotic weekend, the president and Sheinbuam were in the south of the country to commemorate the Bicentennial of the Federation of Chiapas to Mexico and inaugurate the Calakmul museum in Campeche.
On Sunday night, both were at the National Palace for the signing of the constitutional decree on Judicial Reform.
Claudia Sheinbaum was also present at the celebration of September 15 and President López Obrador’s final cry for Independence.
On Monday, the president-elect was one of the guests at the civic-military parade in the Zócalo of Mexico City.

And more events are coming
The closeness of both politicians will increase in the last days of this six-year term. Next weekend, López Obrador and Sheinbaum will visit the Mayan Train accompanied by the country’s governors.
At her press conference on Tuesday, Sheinbaum announced that she would accompany the president in his last week at the head of the Mexican government, although she clarified that she would not attend his farewell press conference at the National Palace.
