Political theater heats up in La Paz
Víctor Castro Cosío, governor of Baja California Sur, came forward for his compadre Rubén Rocha Moya, the licensed governor of Sinaloa. The reason? Accusations from the north about alleged links with groups we do not mention. And he did not beat around the bush: he asked the United States to lower two lines to what he called aggressions.
“It is shameful that this is being done through an accusation without evidence,” Castro said, with that mixture of indignation and strategy that he likes so much.
Friendship above all
Here comes the juicy part. The South Californian president made it clear that his friendship with Rocha is not shaken by slander or truth. Verbatim words:
“A servant’s friendship will never be put to the test by a slander or a truth… I love Don Rubén very much.”
And he concluded: if someone watered it, let them judge him, but that does not break the friendship. Pure political drama with real feeling.
The shadow of the CIA
Castro did not stop there. He linked everything to what he called “documented historical practice on the part of the CIA.” Their theory: when they are discovered, they blow smoke with media bombs.
“It is their black book. When they are discovered, they use the bomb to try to smoke out reality… it is the ABC well applied on the part of the empire.”
Does it sound like a spy movie? That’s how he sees it.
Sovereignty is not negotiated
Regarding whether this affects the bilateral relationship, Castro was blunt: it does not put it at risk. Supports the federal position and closes with a flourish:
“Sovereignty is not negotiated. I hope that the United States will lower the aggressions two lines.”
In summary: the BCS governor stands as Rocha’s shield, accuses interventionism and defends Mexican sovereignty. The political theater continues its course.
