Senators and deputies from Morena expressed before the Permanent Commission that the governor of Chihuahua, María Eugenia Campos, committed the serious crime of treason and must answer for it.

“She will not escape justice,” said Senator Óscar Cantón Zetina of the Morena party during a session of that congressional body in which the Morena party and its allies from the PT – those from the PVEM did not get involved in the issue – once again confronted the opposition, especially the PAN party.

The leader of the PAN party, Jorge Romero, who was at the Senate yesterday, where the Permanent Commission meets, warned that the Chihuahua Congress, with its PAN majority, will block any federal decision to remove the governor’s immunity.

The PAN members came to Campos’ defense and accused the members of the 4T of protecting the governor of Sinaloa on leave, Rubén Rocha Moya, instead of extraditing him to the United States, despite being accused of having links with the Sinaloa cartel.

From early on, in a press conference, the groups of the Morena party in both chambers warned that they will push for impeachment, but also for removal of immunity, so that Campos can answer for having allowed agents of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to participate in operations against drug trafficking .

Later, during the debate, members of the Morena and PT parties insisted on the issue. “Let the full weight of the law fall upon the traitors of the nation,” emphasized Senator Manuel Huerta Ladrón de Guevara of the Morena party.

He rejected the notion that the cases in Sinaloa and Chihuahua were the same, because in the former, he explained, the United States did not present evidence of Rocha Moya’s alleged connection to drug trafficking, and he requested a leave of absence from his position so that the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) could investigate the veracity of the accusations against him.

In contrast, Governor Campos avoided attending the Senate and now “claims she wasn’t informed, that she didn’t know foreign agents were entering official facilities and joining state operations. If that’s the case, we’re facing a very serious loss of control over her chain of command,” emphasized Senator Geovanna Bañuelos of the Labor Party. “If she was aware, she must answer for it, because sovereignty is not negotiable, it cannot be outsourced, and it cannot be managed for political expediency.”

The debate grew heated and loud: “Sellouts!” shouted one side; “Protectors of drug traffickers !” from the other; while the coordinator of the Citizen Movement in the Senate, Clemente Castañeda Hoeflich, maintained that continuing with the evasiveness that there is no evidence against Rocha Moya, “is giving Trump pretexts” at a time when US media are talking about an imminent US intervention in national territory.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kenia López Rabadán, a member of the National Action Party (PAN), loudly accused the ruling party members of thinking “like narco-legislators , like narco-politicians ” and of launching a political persecution against Governor Campos, who “is doing her job and dismantled a drug lab .”

Clapping, she thanked him for being, she ironically maintained, “on the side of the people.”

The response from Morena deputy Arturo Ávila came immediately: “Here there is only one confessed criminal and her name is Maru Campos.”

He added that the PAN members are very angry about the march called by the Morena leadership in the city of Chihuahua, where citizens will come out to defend national sovereignty.

The opposition criticized Senator Enrique Inzunza for failing to attend the Permanent Commission session for the second time and demanded he request a leave of absence. “He is a man of law; he will make his own decision,” Cantón Zetina responded.

The state governor must also request a leave of absence.

The national leader of Morena, Ariadna Montiel, highlighted that the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha, has already requested a leave of absence from his position to be investigated, so she asked that the governor of Chihuahua “act accordingly” and also step down from her position.
