Claudia Sheinbaum states that Rubén Rocha Moya's decision to step down as governor of Sinaloa is best for the state

President Claudia Sheinbaum affirmed that the second leave of absence requested by Rubén Rocha Moya is the best outcome for Sinaloa. The governor requested a second temporary separation from his position after returning to office for less than a day on August 21. Sheinbaum clarified that the decision was a personal one made by Rubén Rocha Moya, and she did not intervene or speak with him since his first leave of absence in May. The administration noted that the governor's return was not officially supported by the federal government or the Morena party, which distanced itself from his personal choice. While the governor's return was brief, the Congress of Sinaloa unanimously approved his indefinite leave. The PAN party has called for a political trial against Rubén Rocha Moya due to allegations of ties with organized crime. Sheinbaum emphasized that national interests must always come before personal ambitions, stating that public servants should prioritize the dignity and future of the people over personal power.
