"A video of the incident on Tuesday 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."
"Even if you're the president, any guy believes he has the right to touch you, said Catalina Ruiz-Navarro, a journalist for the feminist outlet Volcanicas. When they ask what the patriarchy is this is it."
"It comes just days after Carlos Alberto Manzo Rodriguez, a popular mayor, was killed at the Day of the Dead celebrations in Uruapan, in the state of Michoacan, by a gunman who shot him seven times at close range before being killed himself."
Claudia Sheinbaum was groped by a visibly drunk man while mingling with citizens in Mexico City; video shows her removing his hands before a government official intervened. The man was arrested by state police. Commentators said the incident demonstrated that no woman is immune to sexual harassment in Mexico, even the president, and framed the act as an example of patriarchy. The episode also raised concerns about presidential security because the protective detail was not clearly visible and intervention took several seconds. The incident followed the killing of a popular mayor and occurred amid a wider pattern of lethal attacks on officials.
