Morelos governor attacks Cuauhtémoc Blanco's brother, says he lacks moral standing to criticize government

Morelos Governor Margarita González Saravia has sharply criticized Ulises Bravo Molina, the brother of former governor Cuauhtémoc Blanco. Bravo, who previously led the state's Morena party, had accused Saravia's administration of interfering in a domestic violence case against him.

“

We have nothing to do with it. I also heard criticism of my government. I can only say that he has no moral authority to criticize our government.

"We have nothing to do with it. I also heard criticism of my government. I can only say that he has no moral authority to criticize our government," Saravia stated. She added that Bravo's administration governed under their own criteria and that the people of Morelos should judge their performance. Saravia expressed satisfaction with her current administration's work.

Bravo, who was his brother's right-hand man during the 2018-2024 administration, had publicly asked the governor to "leave me alone" on social media. He alleged that Saravia influenced state magistrates who overturned a decision that would have acquitted him of domestic violence charges. However, state magistrates found sufficient grounds to continue the legal process against him.

“

Please, just leave me alone.

Javier García Chávez, the head of the Governor's Office, denied any political repression or persecution by Saravia's administration. He suggested Bravo was trying to create a smokescreen to politicize his civil case and reiterated that the state government has no involvement in judicial decisions. García Chávez emphasized that the case was initiated by a private individual seeking justice, and prosecutors must consider all technical and legal elements.

“

We have always maintained respect for their decisions. Whether we agree or not, it is an autonomous body and they will continue to have all the autonomy to make decisions.
