MC deputy demands stripping immunity from Governor Rocha and others linked to narco; 'They must face justice,' she says

The political landscape in Sinaloa is heating up as MC deputy Laura Ballesteros demands the immediate removal of legal immunity for Governor Rubén Rocha Moya and other officials allegedly connected to drug trafficking. Following the Sinaloa Congress's approval of a temporary leave for Governor Rocha Moya amid accusations from the United States, Ballesteros insists that this is merely the first step. She emphatically stated that the "de desafuero" (removal of immunity) must be imminent, asserting that these individuals "have to face justice." Ballesteros also sharply criticized Citlalli Hernández, the election commissioner for Morena, for her defense of the governor. She questioned why Hernández would defend someone accused of having ties to drug cartels, especially when the party celebrates the prosecution of figures like Genaro García Luna by U.S. authorities. This stance highlights a perceived double standard, where accusations against political allies are dismissed as unjust, while those against opponents are celebrated. Ballesteros's call for accountability underscores a demand for transparency and justice, regardless of political affiliation, and questions the Mexican government's and Morena's selective application of justice.

The first step was his leave, but now the removal of their immunity must follow. The removal of immunity must be imminent because they have to face justice.
