Así se confecciona la banda presidencial que usará Keiko Fujimori el próximo 28 de julio

Shortly before President-elect Keiko Fujimori takes office on July 28, she will have to wear a new presidential sash. Mr. Dante Grados is the designer of the presidential sash for the new president and is already finalizing the details of this order. For example, he noted that this sash is 22 centimeters shorter than the one worn by Francisco Sagasti. "Each sash has to be the right size for the president's body, and if any modifications are needed, they are made," Grados stated. CHANGES TO THE PRESIDENTIAL SASH This sash is made with gold-plated threads, and what is striking is that the central emblem has been altered: instead of laurels, it now features flags. According to Dante Grados, the Government Palace protocol mandated the modifications during Pedro Castillo's administration: "The change was made under President Castillo, not by the former president's decision, but because the Government Palace protocol requested it," Grados explained. He also commented that Keiko Fujimori has not yet tried on the sash, even though one has already been delivered. Regarding the materials, he noted that the gold-plated threads are imported from Europe: "They are delicate and are used for presidential sashes, but more so for sashes of kings and princes," said Dante Grados. MINISTERIAL SASHES The artisan commented that they are also working on the ministerial sashes, which use a standard size, but he emphasized that if the person is too small or too large, the sashes are modified. However, he stated that they haven't had any problems for some time, since the sashes are adjustable. Finally, Dante Grados indicated that approximately three presidential sashes are presented at the beginning of a president's term. Visit http://ptv.pe/470734 for more information.
