Mexican Senator Andrea Chávez Treviño Resigns to Run for Governor

Senator Andrea Chávez Treviño announced she will leave her seat in the Senate of the Republic to run for governor of Chihuahua. This decision came after a series of controversies sparked by her political activities, which were seen as an early campaign. President Claudia Sheinbaum called for clear rules for public office candidates, which was interpreted as a reprimand to the Chihuahua senator. The Chihuahua Electoral Institute confirmed the implementation of precautionary measures to ensure legality and fairness. Chávez Treviño stated: 'Today I leave the Senate to personally attend to the task of ending 100 years of PRIAN rule in Chihuahua. I am not leaving, I am returning.' Her actions, including 'caravans' and 'health brigades,' caused discontent within the MORENA party. The senator emphasized that those who are leaving are the ones who made corruption, revenge, and secret payrolls their way of life. She expressed her certainty that the 'Chihuahuan Spring' will arrive.
