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.

    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:

    1. taking 11 million Mexicans out of poverty,
    2. increased salaries
    3. education grants
    4. infrastructure, etc.

    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.

      1 their numbers… Not the reality

      2 yes they are working on the minimum wage, but a what’s the point if inflation is sky high 30 eggs (la cartera, para que entiendas que soy mexa) it’s $100 pesos?

      3 education grants to teenagers that will vote next election? Are you kidding me? They are buying votes…

      4 infrastructure? Ask Samsung what they think? Or how about when he cancelled NAICM because they were corrupt without proof and they made vs El chAIFA that gets flooded?
