In a post on X, Sheinbaum said that she would “review the legislation so that this crime is punishable in all 32 [Mexican] states.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
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?”<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
