Chihuahua\u2019s Governor Mar\u00eda Eugenia Campos Galv\u00e1n has intensified her criticism of the federal government and Morena, accusing them of protecting organized crime and shielding officials under legal scrutiny. <\/p>\n
This latest statement came through a post on her X account, where Campos addressed the controversy surrounding leaked audios attributed to Baja California\u2019s Governor Marina del Pilar \u00c1vila Olmeda. In these recordings, Marina del Pilar allegedly discusses cooperation with U.S. intermediaries to resolve her immigration status. The Baja California governor confirmed the audios\u2019 authenticity but claimed she was entrapped and denied compromising sensitive information or national sovereignty. <\/p>\n
Campos condemned the situation, writing, \u201cHanding over the country\u2019s security in exchange for impunity has only one name: betrayal of the homeland.\u201d She emphasized that in Chihuahua, \u201cwe have faced crime with the law in hand,\u201d signaling a firm stance against criminal networks. <\/p>\n
The Chihuahua governor also responded to Mexico City\u2019s Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, who had differentiated Marina del Pilar\u2019s case from Chihuahua\u2019s security issues during a recent morning press conference. Sheinbaum argued that the Baja California audios do not prove any breach of national security, unlike Chihuahua\u2019s case, which allegedly involves foreign agents operating on Mexican soil. <\/p>\n
Campos replied pointedly: \u201cThe President said these are different cases. She\u2019s right. They are so different that it must be said clearly.\u201d She reiterated her claim that the \u201ctrue traitors to Mexico\u201d are those who \u201chave made pacts with crime and protect those under justice\u2019s watch,\u201d demanding once again that the federal government \u201cbreak the pact with crime.\u201d <\/p>\n
This exchange is part of a growing political confrontation between the PAN governor and Morena, which has escalated over recent months. In June, Campos accused the federal government of shielding politicians linked to organized crime, warning that this endangers national sovereignty. Morena countered by accusing her of allowing foreign agents to intervene in Chihuahua and violating the Constitution. <\/p>\n
The debate continues amid national discussions sparked by the Marina del Pilar audios, touching on themes of U.S.-Mexico cooperation, sovereignty, and the fight against organized crime. For migrants and residents alike, these developments highlight the complex and often tense relationship between state and federal authorities in Mexico\u2019s ongoing security challenges.<\/p>\n
