Workers Party Calls for Chihuahua Governor to be Prosecuted, Morena Calls for Dialogue
This article by Fernando Camacho and Enrique Méndez originally appeared in the April 24, 2026 edition of La Jornada, Mexico’s premier left wing daily newspaper.
Given the alleged existence of a security agreement between the government of Chihuahua –headed by the PAN member María Eugenia Campos– and that of the United States, the Workers (PT) caucus in San Lázaro called for impeachment proceedings against the governor for “treason against the nation,” but Morena rejected the idea, considering that national unity is more important at this time.
Yesterday morning, the coordinator of the PT deputies, Reginaldo Sandoval Flores, released a statement in which his parliamentary group requests the Senate to initiate impeachment proceedings and the possible removal of the governor of Chihuahua for violations of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States and acts of treason.
In arguing his demand, the legislator emphasized that Mexico’s sovereignty “is not up for negotiation nor can it be subjected to foreign interests,” after various authorities in the state of Chihuahua publicly acknowledged the presence and collaboration of US agencies in security operations, including the CIA, the FBI, the DEA, and Customs and Border Protection.
Conciliation, Yes; Confrontation, No
Later, in a group interview at the Chamber of Deputies, the Morena coordinator in that legislative body, Ricardo Monreal Ávila, rejected the idea of promoting political trials and said he would seek out Sandoval to talk to him about the matter.
“I didn’t know he had filed for impeachment. I prefer dialogue, I prefer conciliation. I don’t like confrontation,” the former governor of Zacatecas emphasized.
