The diplomatic chief posted on Twitter a photograph in which he appears with the artist and with Senator Olga Sánchez, who also attended the event.
“Mon sang our anthem and we embraced her as a very welcome and loved Mexican,” Ebrard wrote.
Two greats: Olga Sánchez Cordero and Mon Laferte in an emotional naturalization ceremony. 103 people told me “We were not born in Mexico but Mexico was born in us” upon receiving their certificate. Mon sang our hymn and we embraced her as a very welcome and loved Mexican. pic.twitter.com/aCgatAHwoB

Laferte, born in Viña el Mar in 1983 but who has lived in Mexico for 15 yearsposted a “thank you very much” on the image of the Chancellor.
“Congratulations to all the new Mexicans (sic) Viva México!” added the artist, who also retains her Chilean nationality.
Last June, Laferte reported that he had already completed his procedures to become naturalized. On Wednesday she participated in a protocol ceremony with a hundred people who also adopted Mexican nationality.
The artist’s partner is a Mexican and they recently had a child.
Laferte has worked with Mexican singers like Gloria Trevi. She has noted that one of her greatest sources of inspiration was Chavela Vargas, the late Costa Rican-born Mexican musician who also adopted Mexico as her homeland.
