Mexico's Sheinbaum Vows No Protection for Ex-Pemex Chief After Wife Posts Alleged Abuse Video
Morelos prosecutors opened a criminal probe after a video appeared to show Victor Rodríguez assaulting his wife, as Sheinbaum said no one will be protected.
- On Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum vowed to ensure the law is applied regarding former Pemex head Victor Rodriguez, stating, "There can be no violence against women."
- Posted to YouTube on Friday by Maria Felicia Jimenez, the five-minute video, viewed by Reuters, appears to show Rodriguez grabbing her by the neck and pulling her hair.
- The Attorney General for the state of Morelos opened an investigation on Friday into suspected criminal acts, while Rodriguez stated he has stepped back from public roles cooperating with authorities.
- Although Rodriguez was appointed to lead INEEL in May, officials stated his appointment was never formalized, and Sheinbaum confirmed he will not take another government role.
- Jimenez, who stated she feared retribution due to Rodriguez's connections, asked for protection for her children, as Sheinbaum previously declared an "era of women" emphasizing freedom from violence.
