Interest conflict? Questioned about an alleged conflict of interest of his Secretary of Economy, Javier Gaxiola Coppel, in the bidding and purchase of two vans by the Ministry of Administration and Finance from a company with which there seems to be a relationship, Governor Rubén Rocha Moya He said that he would review the issue and if the alleged irregularity was verified, he would cancel the contract, which he has not signed, he clarified. However, the state president told the media to continue making their complaints, pointing out that he was not ignorant of them, but that they understand that they are not owners of the absolute truth either, for which he anticipated that he would probably sign the contract, but that will depend of what they determine and not of what the medium that published the note on the alleged conflict of interest dictates. “We are not bandits, we are not going to do anything wrong, but we are not going to paralyze the government because of what the media says,” reiterated Rocha. For his part, the secretary general of the government, Enrique Inzunza, assured that “there is technically no conflict of interest” in this transaction. But the governor remained on fire and insisted to the reporters present that his work is very respectable, but asked them to “admit that they may have the mistake of believing that things are as they think they are (…) I have not said that we are proceeding correctly either ( …) we are going to analyze it”, although he admitted that, if his secretary had a relationship with the company, it would not be morally or legally correct to sign that contract. “Just as you question us, we can also question you (…) the doubt is reciprocal,” the governor concluded with the journalists.
In defense of Quirino. Rocha Moya not only questioned the work on the probable conflict of interest of his secretary, he also took time to defend former Governor Quirino Ordaz Coppel -yes, another Coppel-, of whom he said that only one million 300 thousand pesos were observed by the Superior Audit of the Federation (ASF), a minimum amount that his government is in the process of clarifying, and that the other resource for 1,108 million pesos observed in Sinaloa corresponds to municipalities and a university (UAS), a resource that reaches them through the state government. But he denied that the president of Mexico is proposing an ambassador appointed by the ASF. The president took the opportunity to reveal that he spoke with Ricardo Monreal, the president of the Senate, to entrust the approval of the plenary session to Ordaz Coppel as ambassador of Mexico in Spain, with the additional affirmation that it is not a question of a representation of party or colors, but of the State, for those who have questioned this charge for the ex-priista future.
Cold relationship with the SNTE 53. The governor affirmed that he had no problem dealing with the new directive of the SNTE 53, headed by Ricardo Madrid Uriarte since yesterday, but stressed that the State Government is the boss and they should be the ones who seek rapprochement. We must not forget that Ricardo defeated the prospect of the governor, the teacher Alfredo Heredia of the red list. Of course, to that message from Rocha, the pupil of Daniel Amador and replacement of Fernando Sandoval responded, who claimed to be willing to negotiate with the State Government, which even extends his hand for it, but did not say if he will look for the state president or to the owner of Sepyc, what he did say is that he will assert the rights of the workers.
Clash of ex-rectors of the UAS? This was hinted at by Sergio Torres Félix, who in his orange conference insisted that the state president does not listen to the Secretary of Health, Héctor Melesio Cuen, which makes him think that the PAS leader is considering throwing in the towel before they run him. Well, it is a fact, he affirms, that they want to have him gagged and without political activity, in a clear clash of former UAS directors, whose presence (of Cuen) Torres believes was essential in the week of this Tuesday for the Mazatlan carnival .
