Morena distances itself from governor's return, specialist sees ungovernability

Rubén Rocha Moya's return to his post as governor of Sinaloa, after 112 days of leave, is an "unprecedented event in recent Mexican history," according to security specialist Raúl Benítez Manaut. The political party Morena has distanced itself from the governor's decision, calling it "personal." Benítez Manaut told EL UNIVERSAL that Rocha Moya's move was intended to regain his immunity from prosecution and avoid potential arrest. He noted that the governor did not consult with party leadership or the Ministry of the Interior before his decision.

Morena's national leader, Ariadna Montiel, along with other party officials and legislators, have stated they were unaware of Rocha Moya's decision. Montiel reiterated that the governor's choice was personal. Citlalli Hernández, president of Morena's National Elections Commission, added that the national leadership was not consulted.

The 23 Morena governors issued a statement saying personal decisions should not supersede the party's political project. They urged Rocha Moya to act with "maturity and responsibility." The party's caucuses in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate expressed respect for the rule of law and due process.

Rubén Rocha Moya is a burden for Morena and there is doubt about what to do with him, because he returned to his post and regained immunity. In Sinaloa there is a situation of strong ungovernability, because he is governor and now has no support from anyone

Benítez Manaut believes Rocha Moya has become a "burden" for Morena, especially since he has regained his immunity. The specialist warned of a "strong situation of ungovernability" in Sinaloa, as the governor now lacks broad support. This situation poses a significant challenge for Mexico's government, Morena, and the upcoming state elections.

personal decisions will never be above this political project
