María Eugenia Campos Galván, the Governor of Chihuahua, has formally challenged a summons from the Attorney General's Office (FGR) regarding an investigation into a security operation involving United States intelligence agents.
Key points
- Governor Campos appeared at the FGR in Mexico City accompanied by legal counsel and political leaders to submit a formal rejection of the summons.
- The Governor claims the FGR is attempting to fabricate a criminal case against her, arguing that her constitutional immunity as a state governor should protect her from such proceedings.
- César Jáuregui, the former Fiscal of Chihuahua, also appeared before the FGR in Ciudad Juárez to provide testimony regarding the same security operation.
- Campos alleges that the federal government is pursuing her for political reasons due to her administration's success in dismantling drug laboratories linked to political rivals.
Why it matters
The conflict highlights escalating tensions between state-level opposition leadership and federal institutions in Mexico, raising concerns about the potential politicization of the judicial system.
