PRI Leader Slams Governor's State Protection Amid Narcotrafficking Allegations

The National Action Party (PRI) vehemently condemns the protection afforded to Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya, who is currently on leave amidst serious accusations of drug trafficking links leveled by the United States. As the PRI's national president, I must express our outrage that a politician accused of such grave offenses is now reportedly enjoying state-provided security, a privilege seemingly granted despite the ongoing violence plaguing Sinaloa and Mexico.

Ahora resulta que el narcopolítico goza de protección personal, en medio de señalamientos por presuntos vínculos con el crimen organizado

It is unconscionable that while ordinary citizens in Sinaloa face the brunt of criminal activity, the government, under the guise of the so-called Fourth Transformation, allocates resources to shield a figure implicated in organized crime. This situation raises critical questions: Why is the Morena government protecting Rocha Moya, and more importantly, from what is he being protected? This suggests a disturbing level of complicity or, at the very least, a government that prioritizes self-preservation over the safety and justice for its people.

Aquí hay algo muy grave. A un narcopolítico señalado incluso por autoridades de Estados Unidos lo rodean con elementos pagados con los impuestos de la gente, mientras miles de sinaloenses enfrentan solos a los criminales

This is not merely a matter of political dispute; it is a fundamental issue of justice and the rule of law. When state power is used to shield individuals accused of serious crimes, it signals a government that has bowed to the pressures of organized crime. We demand that investigations proceed without hindrance, that the law be applied impartially, and that state security forces be deployed to protect the citizens of Sinaloa, not to serve as a shield for those who should be held accountable. The PRI stands firm in its demand for transparency and justice, ensuring that no one is above the law.

México no puede acostumbrarse a que se use la fuerza del Estado para blindar a un narcopolítico. Si hay investigaciones, que avancen. Si existen delitos, que se actúe
