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.

    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:

      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?
