Mexican political impeachment proceedings

Legislators in Mexico have initiated efforts to impeach high ranking officials following allegations of corruption and financial irregularities. In Sinaloa, PRI deputy Paola Gárate Valenzuela requested impeachment proceedings against Rubén Rocha Moya, alleging involvement in corruption, opaque contracts, and links to organized crime. These claims follow observations from the Superior Auditor of the Federation regarding resource management.

In Nuevo León, PRI and PAN legislators have sought to reactivate impeachment proceedings against Governor Samuel García Sepúlveda. The requests follow findings by the Superior Auditor of the Federation concerning the alleged triangulation of public funds to offices linked to the governor and his family.

The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation has postponed discussions on a project to maintain the suspension of the impeachment process against Governor García. While the proceedings were declared admissible in June 2026 following allegations of embezzlement and illicit enrichment, a precautionary measure currently prevents the Nuevo León Congress from enforcing sanctions such as removal from office. The delay has led to calls from political figures for a resolution to avoid institutional paralysis.
