While Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum spoke with citizens in the street in Mexico City’s historic downtown Tuesday, a man who appeared to be inebriated stepped up behind her and touched her before a government official intervened.
In a video circulating widely on social platforms, the man appeared to lean in for a kiss and touch the president’s body with his hands.
She gently pushed his hands away, maintaining a stiff smile as she turned to face him.
She could be heard to say in part, “Don’t worry.”
The president’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the incident.
Sheinbaum, like her predecessor and political mentor ex- President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, tries to maintain a connection with the people, frequently diving into crowds for selfies and handshakes.
Her security detail was not immediately visible in the close shot video Tuesday.
It was an unnerving scene in a week when Sheinbaum has repeatedly had to address questions about political violence following the public assassination of a mayor in western Michoacan state.
On Tuesday, Sheinbaum met with the mayor’s widow.

Groovy, man. Groovy.
Is that you? LOL
Its strange how in violent, cartel-controlled Mexico, she has no security around her when out on the street.
They don't relay that he got to 2nd base.
Exactly? At the polis are killed in Mehico I’d want to be in a chainmail suit.
Joe Biden is in Mexico? Is Nurse Jill aware of this?
Even Mexico has weirdos..............
anyone know where slick willy was at the time?
So is this where the Secret Service team from Butler, Pennsylvania got hired?
“Even Mexico has weirdos....“
“Even” Mexico?
Even Mexico has weirdos..............
“What the hell am I doing here?”
Maybe I should have said:
Even Mexico has weirdos...that haven’t yet come to the USA.............😎
I thought the Clinton ‘one free grope’ rule was part of NAFTA. Was I wrong?
Yes. Some pols are murdered by cartels, and some pols don’t need security.
That pretty much explains everything.
“violent, cartel-controlled Mexico”
Violence is concentrated is small parts of Mexico, the same as in the US. The cartel controls only parts of Mexico.
Opinions and decisions based on inaccurate generalizations are not recommended.
I assume individuals from cartel-controlled or other areas are allowed to travel to Mexico City? Or Is it a completely gun-free country? John Hinckley travelled all the way from Los Angeles to Washington DC to shoot Ronald Reagan. I guess that's not possible in Mexico?
Is Mexico City so safe that the President can walk the streets without security that would even hinder a drunk from grabbing her arse?
I guess you feel that's totally normal, based on your knowledge of Mexico.
Maybe she has no reason to fear the cartels......
“Please don’t stand so close to me!”
Who’s brother in law’s uncle’s common law wife’s grandpaw is in charge of her security?
