Gabriela Jiménez dresses up as Batgirl after controversy with Harfuch

In the midst of a hectic week in Mexican politics, Gabriela Jiménez Godoy , deputy coordinator of Morena in the Chamber of Deputies, surprised social media with a touch of humor and pride by dressing up as Batgirl during the Day of the Dead celebrations in Azcapotzalco.

The congresswoman, who days earlier had been criticized for a public disagreement with her colleague Jessica Saiden and the caucus coordinator Ricardo Monreal , decided to transform the media noise into an opportunity to reconnect with her roots and with the citizens she represents.

“All women are heroines,” she wrote on Instagram, accompanying her words with photographs alongside her children and neighbors during the so-called “terror ride ,” where she mingled with motorcyclists, families, and costumed children.

The incident that led to his recent prominence began after the appearance of the Secretary of Security , Omar García Harfuch , in San Lázaro. A viral video showed the moment when Jiménez tried to sit to the left of the official—popularly nicknamed “Batman”—a seat Saiden refused to give up.

The images, coupled with Monreal's surprised expression, sparked comments and memes on social media. However, the congresswoman chose to respond with irony and pride:

“Dressed as Batgirl, I want to remind everyone that all women are heroines,” she posted.

Her message was interpreted as a way of appropriating the nickname and transforming the controversy into a symbolic act of female empowerment , appealing to humor and closeness with the public.

During the festivities in the Santiago Ahuizotla neighborhood, Jiménez took the opportunity to reinforce the cultural significance of his participation. “Each altar we build is an act of love and remembrance,” he wrote, emphasizing the importance of preserving Mexican traditions as part of the social fabric.

The congresswoman not only spent time with local residents and artists, but also highlighted the value of community in times of political division.

“Let us continue to support our roots and build a future full of hope and unity,” he said.

His final message, "Love is repaid with love," closed with a conciliatory and optimistic tone, true to his style.

The case of Gabriela Jiménez reflects how public figures today confront controversies through social media, using narratives of authenticity, humor, and emotional connection . In a digital environment where perceptions are formed in seconds, her communication strategy seems to have allowed her to transform an adverse situation into an opportunity for political engagement .
