I have checked the information and have now implemented a sustainable solution, would you please check it briefly, thank you very much

Thanks for the answer, I have checked the implementation, it seems to work for the past and the current year, but how will it work for future years? This is a recurring holiday (every six years), so it will happen again in 2030, 2036, and so on.

Also, you are right, that this holiday exists only since 1934.

Maybe something like this?

// Every 6 years on 1. December
if ((year - 2) % 6 == 0)
{
    if (year >= 1934 && year < 2024)
    {
        return new PublicHoliday(year, 12, 1, "Transmisión del Poder Ejecutivo Federal", "Inauguration Day", countryCode);
    }

    // Changed in 2024
    return new PublicHoliday(year, 10, 1, "Transmisión del Poder Ejecutivo Federal", "Inauguration Day", countryCode);
}

Thank you in advance

Article 83 of the Mexican Constitution states that

The President shall be inaugurated on December, 1st and shall hold his office during a term of six years

In 2014 a reform was made that changed the date:

The President shall be inaugurated on October, 1st and shall hold his office during a term of six years

Which came into effect this year.

If you search "inauguration day Mexico" in Google, it tells you October 1st.
