Higinio’s move: crusade against corruption when the ranch burns
Morena’s deputy coordinator in the Senate, Higinio Martínez, dropped the bomb: he proposes that the federal government launch a national crusade against corruption and impunity. The timing? Just when the cases of Chihuahua and Sinaloa are under the scrutiny of federal and gringo authorities.
“President Claudia Sheinbaum would have the support of the majority of Mexicans if she leads a strategy to combat these problems head-on,” said the legislator in an interview with EL UNIVERSAL.
What it does not say: that the allegations about alleged CIA collaboration in Chihuahua and the accusations against the governor on leave from Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, are just what has everyone nervous. Martínez asks that both the Attorney General’s Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs clarify the facts.
The dance of accusations
The Mexican senator went against the PAN: he rejected that Morena seeks to politically harm the governor of Chihuahua, María Eugenia Campos. “No one should be considered guilty without evidence,” he said, calling for investigations to advance in accordance with the law.
Regarding Rocha Moya, he defended his decision to temporarily separate from his position to facilitate investigations into alleged links to drug trafficking. He denied the famous “protective mantle” from the federal government and maintained that the prosecution must act if it receives evidence from the United States.
Memory does not fail: every time a politician proposes a crusade against corruption, it is because something is burning in his own kitchen. Let’s hope it’s not smoke this time.
