Deadline to Ratify Impeachment Request Against Maru Campos Passed: Kenia López; 'Comparing Chihuahua to Sinaloa is an Offense'

Kenia López Rabadán, president of the Chamber of Deputies, announced that the deadline for ratifying the request for political impeachment proceedings against Chihuahua Governor Maru Campos has expired. López Rabadán, a deputy from the PAN party, explained that the legislators from Morena in Chihuahua's Congress, who initiated the request, had three days to ratify it.

"What does it mean that it is not ratified? That a request for political impeachment against Governor Maru Campos no longer exists in formal terms," López Rabadán clarified. She added, "It will always be good to be on the right side of history, of the law. Today we come to tell Maru Campos that we are with you, with Chihuahua, and with all of Mexico."

López Rabadán contrasted alleged links with organized crime with efforts to combat it. "There is a national demand for security, for protecting families across the country, and trying to compare Chihuahua with Sinaloa offends the intelligence of Mexicans," she stated. She attended an event in Chihuahua supporting the governor, alongside former Mexican presidents Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón, and national leader Jorge Romero Herrera.

The impeachment push followed an April 18, 2026, incident where federal agents, including members of the CIA, seized a drug laboratory in Chihuahua. A day later, two CIA members and two state prosecutors died in a car accident in the Sierra Tarahumara, prompting federal authorities to investigate. This led to the resignation of Chihuahua's Attorney General, César Jáuregui, the promotion of the impeachment proceedings against Campos, a protest by Morena, and summonses from the Attorney General's Office (FGR).

Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Justice accused 10 officials in Sinaloa on April 29, including its acting governor, Rubén Rocha Moya, of potential ties to organized crime. The FGR has also summoned individuals for questioning. The seized laboratory contained significant quantities of precursor chemicals and methamphetamine.
