A video that has caused a stir in public opinion shows the municipal presidents of Cuautla and Atlatlahucan, Jesús Corona Damián and Agustín Toledano Amaro. Both were captured in a meeting with Júpiter Araújo Bernard, alias "El Barbas". This individual has been identified as a leader of a Sinaloa Cartel cell in the eastern region of Morelos.
The recording exposes the Morena mayors in a meeting with this alleged criminal leader. The revelation has unleashed a wave of criticism and suspicions about the possible links between officials of the ruling party and organized crime.
A concerning pattern in Morena
This incident is not an isolated case. It adds to a series of previous allegations linking Morena members with illicit activities.
Although the party insists on its anti-corruption discourse, the reality is different. More and more Morena officials are getting involved in scandals of this type, which casts doubt on their commitment to legality.
The Morelos Prosecutor's Office has announced an investigation to clarify the nature of this meeting. It also seeks to determine if there is a formal relationship between the municipal officials and the criminal leader. However, given the lack of results in similar cases, the public doubts that there will be real consequences.
