Former Anti-Corruption Chief Launches Petition Against Senator Inzunza

Vania Pérez Morales, former head of Mexico's National Anti-Corruption System (SNA), has launched a petition on Change.org demanding Senator Enrique Inzunza step down from his seat. The petition cites accusations from the United States linking Inzunza to drug trafficking.

Created on August 26, the petition has gathered over 263 signatures and more than 130 shares across digital platforms. Its core demand is for the ruling Morena party senator to immediately separate from his position and undergo relevant investigations without the protection of political immunity.

Pérez Morales, also an academic at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, expressed concern as a citizen that public representatives might use their positions to evade accountability. She emphasized that popular representation should not serve as a refuge from justice.

The petition argues that Inzunza is under scrutiny in both Mexico and the United States, requiring immediate clarification free from political interference. It stresses that his senatorial immunity should not shield him from justice but rather reinforce the principle that no one is above the law. Pérez Morales urges citizens to join the cause, sign the petition, and reinforce the demand for a fair and equitable system.
