Jalisco court revokes apology order for cartoonist Paco Navarrete
A regional court has revoked a legal requirement for cartoonist Paco Navarrete to issue a 15-day public apology to Itzul Barrera, a Morena deputy in Jalisco. The controversy stemmed from a political cartoon published in the newspaper Mural titled “La diputada en su paraíso,” which satirized Barrera’s social media suggestion regarding a 70% tariff on avocados.
Barrera had filed a formal complaint with electoral authorities, alleging that the cartoon—which used a social media photograph of the deputy and a specific typographic layout—constituted political violence against women based on gender (VPMRG). She argued the work sexualized her image and undermined her dignity as a representative.
Navarrete defended the work as political satire protected by freedom of expression and press. While the local Jalisco tribunal initially sought to uphold the apology as a firm sentence, the Regional Chamber ultimately revoked the measure after the complainant indicated she no longer wished to receive the public apologies.
