Claudia Sheinbaum says she is pressing charges because "a line must be drawn" against the harassment of Mexican women.

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.

    What are you talking about?? You clearly don’t live in Mexico and just hear US propaganda/ Telemundo/ tv azteca which is the same.

    1. This wasn’t staged. Sadly there are men like this in Mexico
    2. carlos M. tragedy is begin blow out proportion by the media to decrease approval and have the elite funded parties rise again or use it as an excuse so the use can US can invade Mexico.

    This shit happened way more in previous governments and never heard about it.

        No es que sea chairo pero me impresiona que se les olvide todo lo que pasó en sexenios pasados. Estábamos peor en toda estadística.
