The governor of the state of Sinaloa spoke about a statement in which he referred to “meetings” with organized crime groups and authorities and clarified that he was referring to clashes.

Rubén Rocha Moya, governor of the state of Sinaloa, has responded to insinuations of a possible link between authorities and criminal groups in the state. During an appearance on a national radio program, the president flatly ruled out any meeting with drug trafficking leaders.

“I categorically deny any meeting of any authority, of any of the three levels of government with criminals. In any case, they are confrontations. Until now, what the government is doing is confronting violence and confronting it with government operations against armed civilian groups, or groups of criminals,” he said during an interview on Joaquín López Dóriga’s radio program. In addition, he clarified that these security actions focus on the pacification of the region.

The security context in the state remains a matter of public interest, and Rocha Moya admitted that while clashes between criminal factions have been reduced, they have not been completely eliminated. In this regard, in the radio space he said:

“Confrontations between criminal groups and also confrontations between a criminal group and the authorities have been reduced, and those have been reduced, but they have not ended. Unfortunately they occur, but less so, and that tells us that the generation of violence has been reduced.”

In the context of these events, Rocha was questioned about the existence of an alleged meeting with Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda and criminal leaders in a place identified as Huertos del Pedregal. Rocha categorically denied having participated in such a meeting, commenting that he was not even invited to the alleged event on July 25.

“That version has never existed either, that I agreed to go to a meeting with these characters, neither aware of it, nor invited by any means, I was not summoned to this meeting that took place on July 25, much less to have been there; So, I was not there, nor was I invited, nor did I have any knowledge of that meeting at all, there is no paper, call, statement, that someone has invited me to that meeting, definitely, I did not know about it and much less attend,” he reiterated.
