The controversial governor of Nuevo León, Samuel García Sepúlveda, has taken legal measures to protect himself and his family from potential political trials against him. According to recent reports, García filed amparos for himself, his wife Mariana Rodríguez, and 11 other family members.

The legal recourse was filed on January 17, 2025, before a federal judge in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, under case number 105/2025. This action occurs amid a tense political climate, where the Congress of Nuevo León has received multiple demands for political trials against the governor.

Accusations and background

The accusations motivating these demands include alleged violations of the Constitution and various local laws. In May 2024, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) validated that the state Congress could continue with the political trial against García, although it halted his immediate removal.

Reactions and perspectives

The strategy of seeking amparos alongside his family has caused various opinions in the political sphere and among the public.

While some see this action as a legitimate preventive measure, others interpret it as a sign of distrust toward local institutions. The development of these legal and political processes will be crucial for the future of García's administration in Nuevo León.

New trials on the horizon

In the Congress of Nuevo León, confrontations continue, and now the opposition parties (PRI and PAN) have filed around six complaints that were brought before the Anti-Corruption Commission with urgent status.

Some of the accusations include misappropriation of public funds and the violation of principles such as impartiality and neutrality in elections.

Additionally, the state is experiencing a climate of tension, as Samuel García has recently been accused of allegedly engaging in illicit enrichment and corruption in budget management.
