Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has formally expressed disapproval regarding the decision of Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya to return to his post. The governor had briefly stepped away from his duties, but his resumption of office has drawn sharp rebuke from the federal administration. President Sheinbaum characterized the move as both "reckless" and "inappropriate" given the current political and legal climate surrounding the governor’s administration.

The controversy stems from allegations and reports connecting Governor Rocha to U.S. drug trafficking investigations. While the President has not explicitly detailed the specific legal evidence against the governor, her public condemnation highlights a growing tension between federal oversight and state-level governance in Sinaloa. The President’s stance suggests a desire to distance the federal government from the potential fallout of these international legal pressures.

Governor Rocha has maintained his position despite the federal criticism, though the situation remains fluid. The disagreement centers on whether a public official under international scrutiny should continue to exercise executive power. While the President views the return as a liability to the administration's stability and reputation, supporters of the governor may argue that he maintains the right to govern until formal charges are proven. The situation underscores the broader challenges facing the Sheinbaum administration as it navigates corruption allegations and the influence of organized crime within state governments.
