Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum decided to press charges against a man who was seen groping and trying to kiss her while she was on a short walk in Mexico City on Tuesday.

In a post on X, Sheinbaum said she would "review the legislation so that this crime is punishable in all 32 [Mexican] states."

In a video accompanying the post, she remarked that "if this can happen to the president, what can we expect for all the young women in our country?"

Sheinbaum, 62, was seen in a video that has since gone viral speaking with locals when a man approaches the president from behind and puts his hands on her body before leaning toward her face. The Mexican president later described the man as being "totally drunk."
