Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico, has been groped by a man as she mingled with citizens on the streets of Mexico City, raising questions about the lack of presidential security and the level of sexual harassment faced by the country’s women.

A video of the incident on Tuesday shows a visibly drunk man trying to kiss the president on the neck and embrace her from behind, as she removes his hands and turns to face him, before a government official steps in and places himself between them.

As the man is steered away, Sheinbaum can be seen smiling stiffly and saying: “Don’t worry.”

State police later confirmed that the man had been arrested, and Sheinbaum said on Wednesday she would press charges.

slapped the guy (a very loud slap) across the face and yelled, "Pinche pendejo cabron" ? (Which made all the muchachas in the car laugh.) When does this bs end?

Yet some random drunk guy can put his hands on her? Don't they have Secret Service?
