Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum has said she will press charges against a man who groped her during a public appearance.

Mobile phone footage of the incident on Tuesday shows Sheinbaum speaking to a group of supporters on a street near the National Palace in Mexico City. A man approaches her from behind and attempts to kiss her on the neck and place his hands on her body.

“My view is, if I don’t file a complaint, what will happen to other Mexican women? If they do this to the president, what will happen to all women in our country?” Sheinbaum said at a news conference on Wednesday.

      You mean besides the news articles I linked? The ones with photos?.. No I don’t.

      Edit: and because it’s usual for presidents to walk the streets without bodyguard… And more after one politician just got killed…

        Se poco y nada de la politica mexicana, pero me acuerdo de alguna vez haber chateado con un mexicano que me dijo algo en las lineas de “te das cuenta de qué partido es el que está con los narcos, porque es el que gana las elecciones”.

        No se que tan real es o no eso, pero si es así, te entenderia que la presidente ande sin guardia.

          Para mí todos son iguales, solo que tal vez ahora me afecta más directamente con mi jefecita adorada en este momento. No les creo a ninguno.

          For English speakers: to me all political parties are the same, maybe just this time it affects more directly with my grandma’s house. I don’t trust them
