The day after tomorrow, Saturday, October 1st, Dr. Américo Villarreal is sworn in as Constitutional Governor of the state of Tamaulipas. However, a series of post-electoral conflicts that the superior electoral court has been ruling out have given rise to a controversy about whether the election is legal or No. The allegations of the PAN promoted by the outgoing governor of that party Francisco Cabeza de Vaca have been running out of effect, and still yesterday at 5 in the afternoon the last matter was being discussed to finally be able to declare the election valid and that the Morena candidate , licensed senator and governor-elect of Tamaulipas manages to take the oath on October 1st.
This matter reached a national level because the news was leaked that the still acting governor of Tamaulipas of PAN extraction was “manufacturing arrest warrants against Américo Villarreal” in order to prevent the senator licensed by Morena from taking protest as governor of Tamaulipas. At the beginning of the conflict, Cabeza de Vaca leaked a document indicating the son of the elected governor for having millionaire accounts in the Netherlands and also presented alleged documents of origin from the United States Embassy in the same sense. However, in the course of investigations by the prosecution itself and the words of the governor-elect himself, those accusations were out of place.
On the one hand, the Dutch bank itself issued a statement that was released by Américo Villarreal himself where his apostilled translation showed that what Doctor Américo Villarreal’s son was accused of was false information; and on the other hand, in an interview, Américo Villarreal himself presented documents issued by the Embassy of the United States signed by Ambassador Ken Salazar where he also makes it clear that the previous documents promoted by Cabeza de Vaca and the PAN were apocryphal.
This forced Américo Villarreal to seek protection by installing himself in the Senate requesting his reincorporation to the board of directors, however this was not consummated, because the Constitution of Tamaulipas mandates that the governor should not hold any public office 120 days before. Governor-elect Américo Villarreal’s fear is well founded in terms of who is threatening him is a criminal who should never have been governor, a criminal with a public criminal record both in Mexico and in the United States, a guy who in his time as governor distinguished himself for working for the interests of Texan gas entrepreneurs violating international environmental agreements and treaties that punish the practice of fracking to extract gas from the subsoil, a governor who operated hand in hand with organized crime known as the Zetas and the CJNG and the arm of the Northeast Cartel, drastically increasing the levels of violence and insecurity in Tamaulipas; but the serious thing was the threats made against his political opponents and his already sad phrase of “I’m going to paper you” referring to the fabrication of crimes and imprisonment of politicians and their relatives to extort money from them, as was the case of the former mayor’s uncle Carlos Cantu Rosas.
Governor-elect Américo Villarreal is doing well to be careful and take his measures, finally I hope that Tamaulipas has an honest governor as of October 1 and that he begins to clean up that state and put an end to the long list of ampons that have governed Tamaulipas ; since the current Cabeza de Vaca everything indicates that he will also end up in jail like his predecessors Eugenio Hernandez and Tomás Yarrington. Shame on the PAN caucus in the Senate for defending a guy as mean and cowardly as Cabeza de Vaca. In good time for Tamaulipas the arrival of Doctor Américo Villarreal as its governor.
