Overview
- Mexico City authorities said the man seen in viral video was arrested overnight, and on Wednesday President Claudia Sheinbaum filed a criminal complaint.
- Footage shows a man approach from behind, try to kiss her and touch her body before Juan José Ramírez Mendoza, head of her aides‑de‑camp, intervened.
- The delayed response reignited scrutiny of the president’s light security footprint and debate over the abolished Presidential Guard.
- Sheinbaum said she will continue close public interactions and noted the short downtown walk was chosen to save time.
- Government women’s bodies condemned the act, and Sheinbaum signaled legal reviews and a campaign against street harassment, with safety concerns sharpened by the recent assassination of Uruapan’s mayor.
