Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced she will file charges against a man who harassed her during a public event in Mexico City. The incident, captured on mobile phone video, shows a man approaching Sheinbaum without consent, prompting immediate reaction from her team and leading to his arrest.
Sheinbaum emphasized that her decision to press charges is about protecting all women in Mexico, pointing to the broader issue of gender-based violence and everyday harassment faced across the country. Women’s rights advocates say the incident highlights ongoing machismo and the urgent need for systemic reforms.
The event also reignites debate about presidential security, coming just days after the assassination of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo. Despite the risks, Sheinbaum confirms she will continue interacting closely with the public, while pressing forward with efforts to improve national security and address gender-based violence.
