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.
Of course she has security walking around, but there’s only so much you could do.
Bigger question is, why are you so adamantly suggesting its her fault when instead its the guy who should not be touching other people in uncouth ways.
Because it could have easily been prevented and yet it wasn’t.
Mexico has history of political manipulation. Who’s at fault has zero meaning here.
