Outrage as man harasses Mexican President Sheinbaum in public
Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum, was groped by a man who tried to kiss her while she was interacting with citizens on the streets of Mexico City, an incident that has once again stirred public outrage and renewed discussions about sexual harassment and women’s safety in the country.
The event took place on Tuesday, November 4, as Sheinbaum was walking to an engagement near the National Palace, greeting supporters, shaking hands, and posing for photos.
A viral video circulating online captured the moment a visibly drunk man approached the president from behind and attempted to kiss her neck while wrapping his arms around her, sparking widespread condemnation.
Sheinbaum quickly pushed his hands away and turned to confront him before a government official intervened, stepping between them.
Despite the uncomfortable moment, Sheinbaum appeared calm and said with a smile, “Don’t worry.”
Authorities later confirmed that the man had been arrested by state police. Speaking at her daily press briefing on Wednesday, Sheinbaum said she would press charges, framing the incident as symbolic of the harassment faced by many women in Mexico.
“This is something I experienced as a woman, but it is something that all women in our country experience,” Sheinbaum said.
“If I do not file a complaint, where does that leave all Mexican women? If they do this to the president, what happens to all the other women in the country?”
The event has sparked widespread debate on social media, with many praising Sheinbaum for her composure and decision to take legal action, describing it as a stand against gender-based violence and impunity in Mexico.
