How far did the “commitment” made by the Gringa Maru Campos to “respect the mobilization (called by Morena in the capital of Chihuahua)” actually go? She claimed that “here there are guarantees of legality and freedom of expression, and the right to protest is permitted.” Beyond her rhetoric, not an inch: in reality, she acted in the exact opposite way, resorting to all sorts of underhanded tactics to prevent the march from the Pancho Villa roundabout and the gathering in front of the government palace; block highways and avenues; paralyze transportation; mobilize thugs—including government officials; “repair” nonexistent “water leaks” on the city’s main thoroughfare; dig trenches and try to contain the march; plaster the streets with banners and billboards (distributed along the march route) against President Sheinbaum; mobilize hecklers and thugs at the airport; and much more. All of this was paid for with public funds.

Such is the extent of her “consistency” and “commitment,” and even that’s useless, because the maneuver was so grotesque, so blatant and crude, that it left its mark and signature everywhere, besides revealing the multimillion-dollar, illegal use of public funds for her failed operation. The Gringa woman goes from one ridiculous act to another, and nobody expected anything else. But oh well, finally Morena mobilized, marched, and rallied in front of the government palace. They overcame all the obstacles and filth of Maru and her gang of thugs. That’s it, then. What’s next?

What immediately follows for treason against the homeland: impeachment proceedings against Maru Campos; that is, what should have been activated from the moment the illegal presence and operation of CIA agents in national territory was discovered, seasoned with the “transfer of rights” to other gringo agencies (“a whole floor of the Centinela Tower, headquarters of the Public Security Secretariat of the state of Chihuahua in Ciudad Juárez, intended to function as a bunker for agents belonging to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Customs and Border Protection and the Office of Homeland Security Investigations; analysts and technical personnel; the CIA agents work in the US embassy and consulates in Mexico) for the absolute control of “security” in the state.

Morena legislators? As always: caught up in petty squabbles, idling, managed by the infiltrator and defender of the opposition (read: Ricardo Monreal), and really busy positioning themselves for the next electoral process.

But no: one way or another, everyone’s playing the fool. A month later (the illegal involvement of CIA agents in the Tarahumara mountains was discovered between April 16 and 17), and after last Saturday’s rally, the newly elected leader of Morena, Ariadna Montiel, came up with another brilliant idea (which only postpones the impeachment proceedings): “to travel throughout the state to collect signatures from those of us who demand justice and the impeachment of María Eugenia Campos, because our struggle is always accompanied by the people; we’re not just going to submit a document to the Chamber of Deputies, we’re going to back it up with the support of the people. So everyone, let’s get collecting signatures for the impeachment proceedings.” Brilliant!

And the Morena legislators? As always: caught up in petty squabbles, idling, managed by the infiltrator and defender of the opposition (read: Ricardo Monreal), and really busy positioning themselves for the next electoral process.

There’s no doubt about it: with every move, the cavewoman Maru Campos and her PAN gang sink deeper. She must go, and the authorities must focus on the CIA agents, although it seems the Gringa woman has—whether by omission or commission—the support of a sector of the Morena party to keep the situation mired in chaos. Demonstrations are useless in these cases; even less so the collection of signatures and the “analysis of all possibilities” by the wise legislators, which only delay action. And in all of this, we only need to remember Article 110 of the Constitution: “The heads of the executive branches of the federal entities (…) may only be subject to impeachment for serious violations of the Constitution and the federal laws derived from it” (such as the National Security Law), and for this, the Attorney General’s Office and Congress must intervene. So, how long will the signatures and ribbons continue?
