Enrique Inzunza leaves Morena group to serve as independent senator

Senator Enrique Inzunza has announced his departure from the Morena parliamentary group in the Mexican Senate, opting to serve as an independent legislator. This decision follows allegations from the United States Department of Justice regarding purported links to drug trafficking organizations.

Inzunza defended his actions in a letter, characterizing the accusations as a “ferocious campaign of slander” and a form of “lawfare” lacking evidentiary support. He stated that his decision to remain in office without requesting a leave of absence is based on personal conviction and his professional background as a lawyer.

Morena leadership has responded by stating that while Inzunza is no longer part of their parliamentary group, he remains a member of the party. The party's National Commission of Honesty and Justice is reviewing his status, alongside that of Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya, to determine if internal disciplinary actions or the loss of party rights are warranted.
