Monreal Stages Public Truce as Deputies Downplay Viral Row Over Standing Next to Harfuch

Both lawmakers now describe the brief exchange as a protocol matter, with Monreal leaning on a lighthearted 'Batichicas' tag to wrap up the episode.

Gabriela Jiménez argumentó sobre el incidente del lugar al lado de Omar García Harfuch, que pareciera se disputaba con Jessica Saiden Quiroz, que en realidad buscaba seguir el protocolo cómo Ricardo Monreal se lo pidió.

Jessica Saiden defendió su postura y aclaró que su comportamiento fue institucional.

Overview

  • Video from San Lázaro showed Gabriela Jiménez trying to take a spot beside Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch after JUCOPO, while Jessica Saiden declined to move.
  • Ricardo Monreal later orchestrated a reconciliation on the floor, joined their hands, and jokingly dubbed them the 'Batichicas' in footage he shared.
  • Jiménez issued a formal statement saying JUCOPO protocol places coordinators or their representatives at the compareciente’s sides and denied any personal dispute.
  • Saiden defended remaining in place as part of her role as Security Commission president and said she was not offended by the nickname, adding many would gladly accompany the secretary.
  • The clip spread widely on social media and in press coverage, diverting attention from Harfuch’s security updates delivered as part of the government report review.
