Senator Lucía Micher Camarena Defends Government Against Opposition Claims of Impunity and Ties to Organized Crime

Senator Lucía Micher Camarena defended the federal government against opposition accusations of maintaining an impunity pact with organized crime groups during a new legislative session in the Congress of the Union. The opposition parties, including the PRI, PAN, and Citizen Movement, accused the administration of protecting allies and failing to address persistent violence and insecurity. Senator Lucía Micher Camarena argued that the current cartels emerged or consolidated during the previous administrations of the PRI and PAN, rather than being created by the current government. She countered the opposition's claims that the government is protecting politicians connected to organized crime, such as Governor Ruben Rocha Moya. Senator Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas of the PRI stated that the government has made a pact with organized crime, turning the country into a criminal transnational regime. Meanwhile, Senator Ricardo Anaya Cortés of the PAN accused the administration of manipulating homicide statistics to mask the reality of violence. The administration defended its results, while the PVEM supported the government's balance of power.
