Rubén Rocha Moya requests new indefinite license as Governor of Sinaloa following political friction with the administration

Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya has requested a new temporary license with an indefinite character for his position, following a brief period of returning to his duties after a 112-day absence. The decision follows a wave of criticism from the administration and the Morena party, which viewed his sudden return to power as a personal move that risked undermining institutional integrity. President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized the move, stating that personal interests should not supersede the interests of the nation. The administration announced that the return of Rubén Rocha Moya to the governorship was a personal decision, distancing itself from the governor's actions. This move comes as the United States continues to press for the extradition of Rubén Rocha Moya, who is accused of links with the "Los Chapitos" faction of the Sinaloa Cartel. The administration is now expected to act to determine the judicial fate of Rubén Rocha Moya, with options ranging from a trial for the murder of Hector Melesio Cuén Ojeda to his eventual extradition to the user-specified country.
