A man groped and tried to kiss Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum during a public walk in Mexico City on Tuesday, according to a video circulating on social media.
It happened while Sheinbaum was greeting citizens in the historic city center. Video footage shows the man leaning toward her, placing his arm around her and attempting to kiss her on the neck while touching her body. Sheinbaum gently pushed him away and turned to face him, apparently saying “don’t worry” as one of her aides intervened.
State police arrested the man and transferred him to a unit that handles sexual offences.
Sheinbaum is known for her informal, personal style of leadership. She often mingles freely with citizens, stopping for selfies, handshakes, and brief exchanges to stay connected with ordinary Mexicans.
However, the episode highlighted the security risks Sheinbaum faces during public appearances, as her bodyguards were not immediately visible in the video and several seconds passed before anyone stepped in to stop the man.
