Morena demands Chihuahua governor face CIA agents case, denies political persecution

The political party Morena has demanded that Chihuahua Governor Maru Campos cease using her legal immunity and face accountability regarding the case involving alleged CIA agents in the state. The demand follows Campos' accusation that she was "trickily" summoned by the Attorney General's Office (FGR) to testify.

“

The governor of Chihuahua has once again evaded her responsibility to be held accountable before the Attorney General's Office for the events related to the participation of foreign agents on national territory.

Morena criticized Campos for allegedly evading her responsibility to appear before the FGR. The party stated that the governor, supported by the national leader of the PAN party, Jorge Romero Herrera, has opted for "legal stratagems" instead of presenting herself to testify as a witness. Morena suggested Campos preferred to "transfer the issue to the media" from Mexico City rather than appearing in Ciudad Juárez as summoned.

“

This summons from the FGR is not political persecution; it is about clarifying serious events that could compromise national sovereignty and the federal pact.

The party emphasized that the FGR's summons is not an act of political persecution. Instead, Morena framed it as a necessary step to clarify serious events that could potentially compromise national sovereignty and the federal pact. They asserted that no local authority can operate above the Constitution or usurp the state's exclusive powers in foreign policy and national security matters.

No local authority can act above the Constitution or substitute the exclusive powers of the Mexican State in matters of foreign policy and national security.

Morena called for clear explanations regarding any alleged involvement of foreign agents on Mexican territory. The party urged that sovereignty not be used as a rhetorical shield to avoid accountability. They concluded by calling on all public servants, regardless of their position or party affiliation, to answer to the law when investigations are warranted, without impunity.

We demand clear explanations about any alleged involvement of foreign agents on national territory and not to use sovereignty as a discursive flag while evading accountability.
