- Campos stated it was time to see
Chihuahua Governor María Eugenia Campos Galván has sharply questioned Senator Enrique Inzunza's integrity, urging a clear understanding of "who is who" following his appearance on a U.S. list of officials accused of drug trafficking ties. This statement comes after Inzunza and other senators had previously summoned Campos to appear before them regarding the discovery of a narco-laboratory in Morelos and the deaths of two CIA agents.
"Who was going to summon the governor of Chihuahua?" Campos rhetorically asked, highlighting the irony that those who sought to question her are now themselves under scrutiny by the United States government. She emphasized that this situation reveals the true character of individuals involved.
Vámonos dando cuenta quién es quién
Campos also confirmed statements made by the Secretary of Citizen Security, Omar García Harfuch, regarding the lack of knowledge about the presence of CIA agents in the state, describing her meeting with Harfuch as "very cordial and transparent." Her administration remains committed to combating organized crime, as evidenced by the recent opening of a neurological center for children affected by violence, managed by DIF.
From Chihuahua's perspective, this situation underscores the complex and often politically charged relationship between state governments and federal authorities, particularly when accusations from the United States are involved. The governor's firm stance reflects a defense of her state's autonomy and a demand for accountability from those in positions of power, especially when their own conduct is called into question.
Así es fue una reunión muy cordial, muy transparente con el secretario Harfuch y complemente cierto lo que él dice
