Man gropes Mexican president during walkabout
The Guardian
|November 06, 2025
Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico, has been groped by a man while mingling with citizens in Mexico City, raising questions about security and the sexual harassment faced by the country's women.
A video of the incident on Tuesday in the capital shows a visibly drunk man trying to kiss the president on the neck and embrace her from behind, as she removes his hands and turns to face him, before a government official steps in and places himself between them.
As the man is steered away, Sheinbaum can be seen smiling stiffly and saying: “Don’t worry.”
State police later confirmed that the man had been arrested and Sheinbaum said on Wednesday she would press charges.
