A former Mexican mayor has gone viral during the World Cup for mingling with the people and celebrating her country\u2019s early success. She\u2019s drawn comparisons to actress Mar Castro, who\u00a0became a pop culture icon<\/u><\/a> in Mexico during the 1986 World Cup when she was dubbed, “La Chiquitibum.”<\/p>\n It all started for Sandra Cuevas, who served as mayor of\u00a0Cuauht\u00e9moc from October 2021 to March 2024, when she posted a video of herself celebrating in the streets in a low-cut top. Hundreds of thousands of views followed, as did several comparisons in the comment section to “La Chiquitibum.”<\/p>\n Who knew a simple video <\/a>celebrating victory that she captioned “2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a>: Long live Mexico, from the Angel of Independence in our #Cuauht\u00e9moc borough! #SandraCuevasMX” had so much viral potential packed into it?<\/p>\n MEXICO DEFEATS SOUTH AFRICA IN WORLD CUP OPENER AT ESTADIO AZTECA AFTER SCORING IN NINTH MINUTE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Naturally, comparisons to a World Cup icon<\/a> are going to elicit a response of some kind. I don\u2019t even want to think of how brushing aside that level of viral recognition would be received. It would be a slap in the face of fans all over Mexico.<\/p>\n The 40-year-old former politician issued her response with a statement addressing her boobs, and you would expect nothing else from this moment. For anyone hoping the attention would upset her, you\u2019re going to be very disappointed with her response.<\/p>\n ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD.

She acknowledged them directly and accepted them graciously in her response to the nearly 1 million views she’s received at the time this is being written.<\/p>\n “The Chiquitibum\u2026 well, guys, what can I do, I can\u2019t just take them off. They had already nicknamed me that in 1986 and it amuses me, I like it,” she said of the viral passing of the torch, if you will, reports The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n OUTKICK IS NOW ON THE FOX APP: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n “I don\u2019t take it as an attack, there will be those who think that way and take it in a derogatory way, but that\u2019s how we Mexicans are<\/a>.”\u00a0<\/p>\n I don’t know what the odds are on Mexico making a run at winning the whole tournament, but this kind of statement with all eyes on you on soccer\u2019s biggest stage can only help improve those odds.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"Mexican](\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1200\/675\/sandra-cuevas-press-conference-mexico-city-fox-news-001.jpeg?ve=1&tl=1\" "\\"\\"")
