In a recent conference, the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, addressed the request for revocation of mandate presented by a collective of citizens, which includes the former secretary of the Public Function, Rafael Morgan Ríos. Although Rocha Moya did not disqualify the signatories, he highlighted the importance of self-criticism, suggesting that those promoting this action should reflect on their own actions and responsibilities in the past.
Miguel Ángel Murillo Sánchez, representative of the collective, and Salomón Monárrez Meraz, president of the Office of the People, expressed their concern about the violence affecting the population. They argued that the revocation of mandate is a necessary mechanism for citizens to express their discontent with the current administration.
The president of the State Electoral Institute, Arturo Fajardo Mejía, emphasized that the request must be evaluated to ensure it meets legal requirements, including the collection of more than 240 thousand signatures, representing 10% of the electoral roll in Sinaloa. This process is essential to determine whether the collective can proceed with the revocation, which must be initiated after the third year of the governor's term.
"First look in the mirror," said the governor, who in recent weeks has been the target of criticism for his handling of the situation in Sinaloa. Rocha Moya specifically referred to Rafael Morgan Ríos, recalling his closeness to the Chamber of Deputies, and suggested that instead of seeking his revocation, Morgan and other critics should examine their role in the previous government and recognize the failures that led to the current security crisis.
The state governor was sarcastic in offering his help to gather the necessary signatures for the revocation if the collective cannot reach the required number. The request for revocation was presented by the Organized Citizens Collective for Sinaloa, motivated by the growing insecurity in the state.
