Overview
- Video shows a man approaching President Claudia Sheinbaum from behind on República de Argentina, attempting to kiss her and touching her before aides intervened.
- Sheinbaum pushed the hands away, stayed calm, told the man “we’ll take the photo, don’t worry,” and continued to her engagement at the Education Ministry.
- Initial reports noted no arrest, but later coverage by Grupo Milenio and La Crónica said the suspect was detained, with no immediate official confirmation.
- The episode drew swift condemnation and demands for a review of protection measures, with Morena’s Ricardo Monreal urging stricter precautions for the head of state.
- Reporting underscored that the presidency relies on an Ayudantía support team rather than the former Estado Mayor Presidencial, and noted that sexual harassment is a crime under federal and Mexico City law.
