    With the number of politicians/mayors who get killed each year in Mexico, how in the hell is someone allowed to get that close to her? Holy shit.

      If the cartels wanted her dead, no amount of security would save her. She’s only in that position because the cartels allow her to be in that position.

        I wonder how much of that is true for any president. Like did Obama get a “talk” when he became president?

          C. G. P. Grey’s “Rules for Rulers” is illuminating on that front, but I don’t think you mean soft power. I think you mean gangsters. And I think that most US presidents avoid such a thing by virtue of being the C in C of the biggest military on the planet. Though maybe they get a little bit of it from the Pentagon, I dunno.

            Obligatory: ‘Rules for Rulers’ is a very condensed summary of Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith’s ‘The Dictator’s Handbook’.

      If I were the president of Mexico I wouldn’t be mingling in crowds like this at all, but yeah her security was wayyy too slow on the draw.

    My boobs got groped in public the first year they were appealing to men. I didn’t even realize what had happened at first.

    Edit: I’m trans and my boobs became first attractive to men in my 40s. The incident I’m describing happened in the US.

      Scumbags like this only scream/harass/physically attack decent democratically elected politicians like Claudia Sheinbaum, Justin Trudeau, Keir Starmer…

    People is talking in México, everybody is saying (including me) that is a smoke screen for the last events that have took place in the country: Waldos’ incident in Hermosillo and Carlos Manzo’s murder in Uruapan, both happening the same day, the Day of the Dead’s eve.

    Edit: If really is a smoke screen, Morena is showing us once again that you always can get lower. Only they can use a real problem like women harassment to make people forget that Mexico is mad and we want a real change.

    Edit 2: It’s already happening: https://www.jornada.com.mx/noticia/2025/11/05/politica/ony-y-onu-mujeres-respaldan-a-sheinbaum-tras-episodio-de-acoso I hate this goverment so much

      You’re saying she wanted to be groped, that she orchestrated it? That’s pretty fucked up to say. Anything to allow this type of behavior, right?

        You can imagine how much we have seen this kind of behavior before. Women that are obviously culprit, mocking off real victims of sexual abuse, wanting to be shielded by sorority. Here Claudia Sheinbaum “is another victim”, she felt harrasded, like Carlos Manzo did when he asked for help for its city and was completly ignored.

      Se pueden atender dos problemas al mismo tiempo. El gobierno es un asco pero no entiendo que tiene que ver la noticia de la ONU con la explosión del waldos

        La ONU está respaldando a Claudia, probablemente todo el mundo se entere de lo que le pasó a ella debido ya que la ONU está relacionada ahora, lo que me da mucha rabia es que ahora existe una mujer viuda, que ahora es alcaldeza de Uruapan. ¿Quién la respalda a ella y lo que le pueda pasar? Acaba de pasar completamente a segundo plano.

    I support beatings for such people.

    spoiler

    And maybe break their hands, just to be sure.

        I wish. Most people don’t even get serious times for murder. They get remission for some reason and kill someone again when they’re out. Serving time doesn’t change their behaviour. It might work for some people but it definitely doesn’t work for some. Where is justice if you can’t prevent it after seeing their previous misdemeanors?

        The hand breaking could absolutely be doled out judicially. He didn’t say it should be done without due process.
