Chihuahua Governor Silent on Operation Involving US Agents Amid Investigation

Chihuahua finds itself at the center of a sensitive investigation involving U.S. agents participating in an operation targeting a drug laboratory. Governor María Eugenia Campos Galván has adopted a stance of official silence, stating she cannot comment due to the ongoing investigation. While acknowledging the gravity of combating drug trafficking, she emphasized her administration's commitment to transparency and the rule of law, assuring citizens that they are not alone in this fight.

This situation has been further complicated by statements from Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum, who indicated that any authorization for U.S. agents' involvement would have originated from state-level entities, such as the State Prosecutor's Office or the local security secretariat. This assertion places the onus on state authorities, yet neither Governor Campos Galván nor Attorney General César Gustavo Jáuregui Moreno has publicly addressed the specifics of the operation or the U.S. involvement.

No puedo ahorita hablarles de nada, estamos bajo investigación. Yo solamente quiero decirles a ustedes y a todos los chihuahuenses que tienen una gobernadora, que bajo los hechos, no bajo los dichos, ha gobernado con total transparencia, apegada en estado de derecho y sobre todo combatiendo este flagelo tan tan grave que realmente pues atañe y daña a todos los mexicanos y en este caso a los chihuahuenses.

The lack of official pronouncements from Chihuahua's leadership, despite the federal government's comments, creates an atmosphere of uncertainty and fuels speculation. The governor's brief statement, made while heading to her office, offered little concrete information beyond a reiteration of her anti-narcotics efforts. The silence from key state officials, particularly regarding the alleged U.S. participation, is notable and contrasts with the federal government's more direct, albeit indirect, involvement in the narrative. This dynamic highlights the complex intergovernmental relations and the challenges of transparency in sensitive security operations within Mexico.

Tienen una gobernadora que seguirá fuerte, combatiendo el narcotráfico, trabajando para combatir la delincuencia y que no están solas no están solos
