Chihuahua Governor Maru Campos Galván has publicly declared she is a victim of political persecution by the federal government. Her statement followed the receipt of a summons from the Attorney General's Office (FGR) on Saturday, concerning a drug laboratory discovered in her state on April 18.
The discovery of the laboratory led to a vehicular accident that resulted in the deaths of two CIA agents. Campos, a member of the PAN party, posted a video on social media asserting her innocence and accusing the current administration of targeting those who uphold their duties.
"They protect criminals and persecute those of us who try to fulfill our duty," Campos stated in the video. "If the political persecution against me continues. And as always, I will continue to face it head-on and fight for your family, for our country, for Chihuahua and for freedom. Until the limit, for our state and for Mexico."
This development comes shortly after Rubén Rocha Moya, governor of Sinaloa, confirmed he would also comply with an FGR summons, stating he is an "upright man who has nothing to fear."
