Nuevo León Governor Samuel García Submits Written Defense in Impeachment Proceedings

Governor Samuel García Sepúlveda of Nuevo León filed a written defense on 23 June 2026 in the political trial being conducted by the state congress. The document was received by the Congressional Office of Records and will be reviewed by the Anti‑Corruption Committee before the full chamber decides whether to advance the case, which would require a qualified majority to continue.

The governor responded to the congressional process "en rebeldía" and asked for a public defender, indicating he is contesting the allegations of alleged irregularities in public spending and administrative misconduct raised by opposition legislators. The impeachment remains in the investigatory stage and no immediate sanctions have been imposed.
