BCS Governor Defends Rocha Moya, Accuses U.S. of 'Interventionism'

The governor of Baja California Sur, Víctor Castro Cosío, has strongly defended his counterpart in Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, against what he terms baseless accusations from the United States linking him to organized crime. Cosío labeled these allegations as "aggression" and "interventionism," urging the U.S. government to "tone it down." He expressed his solidarity with Governor Rocha Moya, emphasizing that their personal friendship remains unaffected by these claims, whether they are "slander or truth."

Es penoso que a través de una acusación sin pruebas se esté trabajando esto

Cosío suggested that these accusations are a tactic to divert attention, drawing parallels to historical practices of the CIA. He stated, "It's their black book. When they are discovered, they use the bomb to try to obscure the reality they are living. It is direct, proven interventionism, and with slander they want to cover up... it is the ABC of the empire applied well to try to distort what they are doing: espionage. The CIA has a history of espionage not only in America but in the world."

La amistad de un servidor jamás va a ser puesta a prueba por una calumnia o una verdad… yo quiero mucho a don Rubén

He dismissed concerns about the accusations impacting Mexico-U.S. relations, backing the federal government's stance on defending national sovereignty. "Sovereignty is not negotiated," Cosío asserted, reiterating his hope that the United States will reduce its "aggression."

Si alguien se porta mal, que sea juzgado, pero eso no quita la amistad

This defense highlights a recurring theme in Mexican political discourse: a strong reaction against perceived U.S. interference in domestic affairs, particularly concerning security and organized crime. While U.S. authorities often cite intelligence and law enforcement concerns, Mexican officials frequently frame such actions as violations of sovereignty and attempts to destabilize or influence internal politics. The narrative presented by Governor Castro Cosío reflects this national perspective, emphasizing a defense of a fellow governor and a broader critique of U.S. foreign policy tactics.

Es el libro negro de ellos. Cuando se ven descubiertos es utilizar la bomba para tratar de echarle humo a la realidad que se está viviendo. Es un intervencionismo directo probado, y con el infundio quieren tapar… es el ABC bien aplicado de parte del imperio para tratar de desvirtuar lo que ellos están haciendo: el espionaje. La CIA tiene una historia de espionaje no solo en América, sino en el mundo
