Ceremony
Administered by the president of the Senate, José Mujica, the presidential oath was taken, before the General Assembly, in keeping with Article One Hundred and Fifty-One, Chapter 1, Section 9 of the Uruguayan Constitution.[1] Lacalle Pou delivered a 30-minute opening speech, which was described as "short and pragmatic." It struck a tone that was liberalist.[2] The soprano Luz del Alba Rubio sang the national anthem in E-flat major, just as Francisco José Debali conceived in 1833.[3] The performance was accompanied by the choir of the SODRE.[4]
After the oath, the new president and vice president paraded down along Libertador Avenue in a 1937 Ford V8 convertible that belonged to Lacalle Pou's great-grandfather, Luis Alberto de Herrera.[5] Hundreds of horsemen from all over the country came to the capital to accompany the President's parade,[6] which ended in Plaza Independencia.[7]
At 4:30 p.m. in Plaza Independencia, President Lacalle Pou received the presidential sash of the outgoing president, Tabaré Vázquez, and was formally invested.[8] There were present, several foreign leaders, legislators and other authorities, as well as the families of Lacalle Pou and Argimón.[8] The appointed members of the Cabinet signed the Minutes Book and were invested.[9] Subsequently, a military parade honors the President and members of the government.[10] Likewise, President Lacalle Pou addressed the public present.[11]
