Mexico’s Sheinbaum condemns governor’s return amid US drug charges
- Mexico’s president has said it was “reckless” and “not appropriate” for a Mexican governor to return to his post while facing a domestic investigation following United States drug-trafficking allegations.
- Governor Ruben Rocha Moya, 77, of Mexico’s Sinaloa state, which is located in the northwest of the country, had requested another temporary, indefinite leave of absence from his post, just days after defiantly reclaiming office for a day.
- Now, however, he faces a backlash from his Morena party, the same political party as Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
