Overview
- A man approached Claudia Sheinbaum on República de Argentina in the Centro Histórico, attempted to kiss her and touched her without consent before members of the presidential Ayudantía separated him.
- Sheinbaum pulled the man’s hands away, told him “Nos tomamos la foto, no te preocupes,” and proceeded to her scheduled event at the Education Ministry.
- As of publication, the aggressor’s identity and any detention had not been reported, and neither the Presidency nor Mexico City’s Security Secretariat had issued a detailed statement.
- Feminist collectives and users on social media called for the individual to be identified and sanctioned, and questioned gaps in the president’s close‑protection procedures.
- Coverage noted that the Ayudantía—retained after the Estado Mayor Presidencial was disbanded—faces renewed scrutiny, and cited laws that penalize sexual harassment in CDMX and define federal abuse offenses carrying multi‑year prison terms.
