Sheinbaum Briefly Irritates Eye During Nayarit Crowd Greeting, Keeps Schedule

The accidental contact did not interrupt the Centro Libre inauguration in Ixtlán del Río.

Overview

  • Short video clips show the president’s left eye reddening and tearing as she paused during a walkabout before the event, after which she said someone had poked her eye.
  • Footage and eyewitness accounts suggest an object held by a bystander, possibly a folder or another item, made contact with her face, though the exact cause remains unconfirmed.
  • She used a handkerchief, resumed greeting attendees, and posed for photos before proceeding to the scheduled ceremony.
  • An official clip posted to her X account later showed her speaking at the inauguration without a visibly irritated eye.
  • The appearance marked the opening of a Centro Libre for women, a program offering legal and psychological support with the goal of reaching each municipality, as part of a working tour in Nayarit.
