Yesterday, the former governor of that state, Jaime Rodríguez Calderón “El Bronco”, was arrested in Nuevo León. Since his arrival in 2021, the current emecista governor Samuel García spoke that he would go against the corruption of previous governments, accused of money laundering, irregularities in the acquisition of subway cars, mismanagement of water, etc. .
“El Bronco” now faces charges of embezzlement, as the State Audit found indicators of embezzlement of funds intended to obtain signatures for the 2018 election campaign.
The fact that a former governor is in jail is not to be celebrated, in this particular case the evidence has not yet been released and innocence is still presumed; however, the Audit believes it has sufficient evidence to proceed and prove Rodríguez Calderón’s guilt, most importantly, without the need to resort to a referendum to endorse this action. This is justice, it does not submit to the decision of the people, it is applied; In that sense, if “El Bronco” owes it, he must pay it.
Here in CDMX things look different: on Monday, Sandra Cuevas was removed from her position as mayor of Cuauhtémoc, this as a precautionary measure after the capital prosecutor’s office opened an investigation folder against her for alleged assaults on police officers. that at the time they even wanted to impute as kidnapping, a charge that has been withdrawn. It draws my attention that an alleged aggression – it has not yet been proven – is enough to remove the mayor from her position, but that the collapse of a subway line and the loss of human lives in said catastrophe keep various officials in their positions capitals. Political revenge? It could be. La Cuauhtémoc concentrates many of the main commercial areas of the city, which until the last election was directed by Morena. Did it hurt to lose it? Of course, they clearly seek to recover it, but if this is a montage – I will allow myself to say it – these are not the ways.
It is curious how justice in our country seems to be selective, many times we have witnessed leaks of audios, videos, reports and other evidence that could be used to prosecute crimes by officials, corruption most of the time, but this It does not happen. Here I agree with the current administration, it is a problem inherited from past administrations, but they do nothing to solve it.

It is a pity that cases of corruption become common, ordinary, but this is reality. In this sense and following the ontological principle of “The ordinary is presumed, the extraordinary is proven”, shouldn’t Sinaloans doubt the actions of previous administrations? Shouldn’t we question the actions of the Superior State Audit Office? I cannot blame or judge any official or former public official, I lack evidence, I simply – as we said in the school shell – I leave it tossing.
