The issue of the revocation of her U.S. visa for the Morena governor, Marina del Pilar, hides much more than meets the eye.
The question that arose from this event is that, now that the U.S. authorities acted against Marina del Pilar, when will they do so against the others?
Personally, I think that Rocha Moya had more chances of being the first directly affected by the new U.S. policy. Certainly, I didn't imagine Marina del Pilar.
But the surprise came to me when I saw that apparently there is even a list, with the names of governors under U.S. investigation.
I came across a column by Salvador Garcia Soto, I read it and at first, it seemed unbelievable but... it's closer to reality than fiction.
The names in the spotlight are not low-profile. They are governors, former governors, and high officials. Many of them from Morena, although there are also some from MC and PRI.
Among those mentioned are:
- Marina del Pilar Ávila (Baja California)
- Alfonso Durazo (Sonora)
- Rubén Rocha Moya (Sinaloa)
- Américo Villarreal (Tamaulipas)
- Layda Sansores (Campeche)
- Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla (Michoacán)
- Miguel Ángel Navarro (Nayarit)
- Enrique Alfaro (Jalisco)
- Samuel García (Nuevo León)
- Cruz Pérez Cuéllar (Ciudad Juárez)
- Manuel Bartlett (CFE)
- Adán Augusto López (former governor of Tabasco)
- Mario Delgado (SEP)
- Ricardo Monreal (Morena)
One by one, the involved deny the accusations, but some are already facing silent sanctions. The cancellation of visas is one of them.
Washington doesn't act without evidence, and if there is intelligence from the DEA and the Pentagon, it's likely real. The question is: how far will this investigation go?
It's not a conspiracy theory. There are documented precedents that make this list plausible.
Rubén Rocha Moya was mentioned by Mayo Zambada himself and Américo Villarreal, according to witnesses, received money from "Chapo" Isidro. They even place him traveling to the Sinaloa mountains for meetings with criminals, according to Jocelyn Hernández, co-founder of Morena.
All 44 on the list have been accused of engaging in illicit activities and, as usual, the majority are from Morena.
