Morena leader distances party from Rocha Moya and Inzunza: “We will not be accomplices or protect anyone”

Morena leader Ariadna Montiel Reyes said the party would not shield Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya or senator Enrique Inzunza Cazarez as federal authorities examine their cases.

“We will not be accomplices or protect anyone,” Montiel said during a visit to Sinaloa. She was there for meetings with Morena’s party structure alongside Imelda Castro Castro, the newly elected state commissioner for the Defense of the Fourth Transformation.

Montiel said Morena’s National Commission of Honesty and Justice is waiting for the situation involving both men to be resolved before deciding their party status. She added that political parties are not courts and cannot determine whether members are innocent or guilty. The party is therefore awaiting the conclusion of investigations opened by Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office.

Montiel also addressed security arrangements for Castro, a senator on leave, whose escorts were assigned by the National Guard after an assessment discussed by the parties in the governing alliance. She said the security situation in Sinaloa is known and that President Claudia Sheinbaum has prioritized restoring calm in coordination with state authorities.
