The President of Mexico is filing a complaint against a man who touched her body
Claudia Sheinbaum, the President of Mexico, announced she would file a complaint against a man who groped her during a public event in Mexico City
In a video of the incident, a man is seen approaching Sheinbaum from behind while she is speaking with supporters and attempting to kiss her
She immediately pulls away, and the assailant is arrested
Sheinbaum said, ‘If I don’t file a complaint, what will happen to other Mexican women?’ and added that her decision comes as a woman who has experienced similar situations, like many women in her country
Women’s rights groups have viewed this incident as an indication of the ongoing culture of machismo or extreme patriarchy in Mexican society
