President Claudia Sheinbaum criticizes Rubén Rocha Moya for his ambitious attempt to return to the governorship of Sinaloa.

President Claudia Sheinbaum has signaled a shift in her administration's stance toward Rubén Rocha Moya, the governor of Sinaloa. While previously a close ally of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Rocha Moya has faced criticism from the administration for his recent attempt to a return to the power. Sheinbaum has labeled Rocha Moya as arrogant and imprudent, accusing him of prioritizing personal ambition over the interests of the nation. This shift in sentiment is largely driven by the US Department of Justice's public accusations that Rocha Moya has ties to the Sinaloa Cartel. The administration has moved to distance itself from him, with many officials now viewing him as an outcast. While some supporters of Rocha Moya previously defended him against foreign accusations, the official line has now shifted to acknowledge the investigation. The administration's response suggests a most recent effort to normalize the rebellion of Rocha Moya as a result of poor political calculation.
