Morena governors urge Rocha Moya to show 'maturity'; 'politics is an exercise in congruence,' they assert

Governors from Mexico's ruling Morena party have called for "maturity and responsibility" from Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya following his return to office. In a joint statement, the 23 governors emphasized that individual decisions within the Fourth Transformation movement must never supersede the collective project or the mandate of citizens. They asserted that personal or group political ambitions have no place when they conflict with the nation's well-being.

“

We call on Dr. Rubén Rocha Moya for maturity and responsibility. Politics is an exercise in congruence; excess and factional decisions undermine the principles of honesty and loyalty we swore to defend.

"We call on Dr. Rubén Rocha Moya for maturity and responsibility. Politics is an exercise in congruence; excess and factional decisions undermine the principles of honesty and loyalty we swore to defend," the governors stated. They also expressed their full support for President Claudia Sheinbaum, noting her legitimate leadership and the commitment of state governments to her direction. The statement came after the Interior Ministry announced Rocha Moya's return to his post was a personal decision, while investigations into officials linked to criminal groups by the Attorney General's Office continue.

The state leaders highlighted on social media that the strength of the republic lies in institutionalism, asserting that no authority is permitted to act outside the law or make unilateral decisions that challenge constitutional order or republican dialogue. They reiterated their commitment to Mexico, democracy, legality, and the continuation of the transformation initiated by former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and now led by President Sheinbaum, invoking the principle "Within the law, nothing; above the law, no one."

“

She leads the destiny of the homeland with legitimacy, honesty, and leadership. Her direction has the strength and commitment of our state governments. Unity is our greatest strength. Faced with any attempt at division or personalism, we will respond with cohesion, discipline, and work for the people.

The document was signed by governors from Baja California, Baja California Sur, Campeche, Chiapas, Mexico City, Colima, State of Mexico, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Michoacán, and Morelos, among others. The opposition has criticized Rocha Moya's return, calling it an "act of cynicism."
