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 continue to push this “she should have known it would happen” idea. You’re paying lip service to how bad it is and how she’s not wrong to press charges but you keep weirdly pointing to “she should have expected this”.

    Why?

        What’s your opinion? You’re saying something unrelated to her pressing charges, implying a link to her pressing charges (either intentionally or not), and then not really denying the link you’ve implied 😂 Very weird behaviour!
