Green Party distances itself from Rocha Moya; Velasco deems governor's return 'imprudent'

Manuel Velasco, coordinator of the Mexican Green Party (PVEM) parliamentary group in the Senate, announced that his party does not support Rubén Rocha Moya's decision to return to his post as governor of Sinaloa. Velasco described the move as "imprudent," citing open investigations by authorities, as communicated by the Ministry of the Interior.

The Morena parliamentary group in the Senate stated that it is up to the relevant authorities and justice procuration bodies to act according to the law and conduct investigations with legal rigor and full respect for institutions. Morenista senators affirmed their respect for the inquiries involving the state governor and alleged ties to criminal groups.

Furthermore, the senators reiterated that Rocha Moya's return to his duties is a personal and individual act, similar to his decision to request leave in May following accusations from the U.S. Department of Justice. The opposition has also rejected Rocha Moya's return, labeling it an act of cynicism.
