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 know it was staged, right? Everyone knows it’s a distraction from this. It isn’t the first time she does something to distract from the current events…
I know I’m going to get downvoted for this but it’s infuriating to live in México and you can’t criticize our government because all of you love that an empowered woman is in control… Most of México is a mess right now, cartels are in control, just last weekend I had a trip to my mother’s inherited grandmas house and in a small town and after a 6 hour trip we just went back because they control the town.
My mom said she rather lose her childhood home than our lives…
What are you talking about?? You clearly don’t live in Mexico and just hear US propaganda/ Telemundo/ tv azteca which is the same.
This shit happened way more in previous governments and never heard about it.
I’m sure you have ample evidence to back up this claim.
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…
Nah dude, he doesn’t need proof, she’s a woman, they always lie for favors, even as the president. /srs
As we all know, women are never assaulted and only use it for cover ups.
Dunno who said that, I didn’t. Don’t put words in my mouth.
“Look, a woman is using this for benefiting herself, not to get any justice.” Is what you argued.
Are the federales lacking resources or intent? That assassination was clearly a message, I admittedly don’t know a lot about Mexican politics but is it possible to defeat the cartels or is it a competition of monopoly?
Morena, her political party, is very friendly to the drug cartels, AMLO (our last president) went to greet Chapo’s mom for example. He’s the one that created morena.
His ideology was “let them work and they won’t mess with you” .
Idk why the quotations since this was never said.
Yes cartels (which are funded by the US) do have a big influence in Mexico, but no MORENA isn’t friendly to the drug cartel.
They understand that going into blood battles against them doesn’t improve it. ( which happened in previous governments) Instead they are targeting the root cause like:
their actual slogan is: “abrazos no balazos” which means hugs instead of bullets.
They understand that most don’t joins cartels out of fun, but need.
