Mexico's President Sheinbaum to Press Charges After Being Groped During Public Event. Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has vowed to press charges after being groped by a man during a public appearance near the National Palace in Mexico City. The incident occurred when the man approached Sheinbaum from behind, attempting to kiss her neck and touch her body. She quickly moved away, visibly shaken, and security intervened. In a press conference, Sheinbaum said she felt compelled to act, stating, "If this happens to the president, what about other women in Mexico?" She highlighted the pervasive machismo culture and the challenges women face in the country, emphasizing the need for accountability and change. The man has been arrested, and Sheinbaum revealed he had allegedly harassed other women in the crowd. The incident also draws attention to the broader issue of violence against women in Mexico, including femicide, where a shocking 98% of cases go unpunished. Despite her promise to tackle security concerns, including women's safety, progress has been slow under her administration.
