"Maru Campos is lying"; Ariadna Montiel attacks governor over statements on Rocha's defense

Ariadna Montiel, the new national leader of Morena, has directly challenged Chihuahua Governor Maru Campos, accusing her of disseminating falsehoods concerning the investigation into the deaths of two American agents and others in Chihuahua. The controversy stems from Governor Campos's remarks suggesting a double standard, where her state's efforts against drug labs are criticized, while Sinaloa's governor, Rubén Rocha, receives unwavering defense.

Montiel firmly rejected Campos's narrative, asserting that the core of the investigation is not about dismantling drug laboratories, a task Mexico has undertaken extensively by dismantling over 2,500 such facilities. Instead, Montiel highlighted that the real issue is the alleged involvement of foreign agents on Mexican soil, an act she unequivocally condemned as a violation of the Mexican Constitution and national sovereignty, labeling it as "treason to the homeland."

“

A uno se habla mal por desmantelar un laboratorio, por impedir que la droga llegué a las familias, a nuestros niñas y niños, y al otro se le defiende a capa y espada. Otra vez, recuerdo lo dicho la semana pasada, vámonos enterando de quién es quién.

This exchange underscores a deep political divide and a fierce debate over national sovereignty and security. Morena, through Montiel, is positioning itself as the staunch defender of Mexico's constitutional integrity, demanding accountability for any perceived infringement by foreign powers. The party insists that Governor Campos should be judged for her statements and actions, particularly concerning the presence and actions of foreign intelligence operatives within Mexico's borders. The narrative from Morena emphasizes that protecting the nation's sovereignty is paramount, and any compromise, especially involving foreign agents in sensitive operations, is unacceptable.
