difference from Susgled mood that in general terms has maintained throughout her morning press conferences, President Claudia Sheinbaum reacted with a certain run over the question about the reappearance of General Salvador Cienfuegos in an official act and, especially, on the never declared innocence of the former Peñista Secretary of the National Defense in Judicial Body of the United States.

Dalila Escobar, reporter of Processasked about the presence of the aforementioned Cienfuegos on the podium of the ceremony corresponding to the march of loyalty, and recalled that in 2020 he was released in the United States, not considering it innocent or due to lack of evidence, but for high -level negotiations between Governments

President Sheinbaum interrupted the course of the question, as would happen on other occasions on that same issue, to reverse the burden of the journalist: Let’s see, let’s go calmly. I am ordered that, being a reporter, do an investigation, and you come to present it here to the morning, why did General Cienfuegos freed? Half a dozen times compelled the reporter to do and present an investigation, on several of those occasions warning that such inquiry should be presented on Tuesday before the head of the Attorney General’s Office, Alejandro Gertz, who would respond.

The hard presidential attitude came to ensure that the return of Cienfuegos to Mexico was not due to negotiation between governments: Excuse me. There were no causes, there was not enough evidence, that was the reason for liberation. The reporter Escobar wanted to give context: In Mexico, right?but the president planted: And in the United States. Before the president had speculated: “Do you think,” she said, “that if the United States government had really had something against General Cienfuegos would have released it?” (https://goo.su/iwt7ju ).

It does not correspond to what President Sheinbaum with what was declared by direct actors of the case. The release of Cienfuegos was not due to an express and unequivocal declaration of innocence of the accused or lack, insufficiency or unfeasibility of evidence. It was because the US Prosecutor’s Office asked the judge to retire charges for high -level political considerations between the governments of Mexico and the United States.

Jesús Esquivel, correspondent for Mexican Media in the United States, published a book in Editorial Grijalbo, entitled At your orders, my generalin which he narrates the background of the case, his development, the position changes of the then President López Obrador (who the first day he talked about the matter A very unfortunate fact (…) because it is an unequivocal sample of the decomposition of the regime, how government function was degraded in the country during the neoliberal period: Note from Alma Muñoz and Fabiola Martínez in The day, https://goo.su/vfopp).

And the unequivocal words of US officials: federal prosecutor Seth Duchar me (that is, Donald Trump’s government representative in that trial, specifically of Procurator William Barr) asked federal judge Carol Bagley Amon, in Brooklyn, new York, the withdrawal of criminal charges against Salvador Cienfuegos. Shower explained: The application of the withdrawal of the positions focused on balanceing the interests of foreign policy (…) and on maintaining with Mexico the cooperation in the fight against drug trafficking and corruption.

Judge Amon said: I grant the request of the Department of Justice of the Retirement of Charges He added: “Although there are several charges against a significant figure, I have no reason to doubt the sincerity of the government in this matter … nor that the Mexican authorities will sincerity will investigate and process the defendant” (https://goo.su/jhtoep). In Mexico, prosecutor Gertz, at nothing Tortuguesca, declared in a few weeks the innocence of General Cienfuegos, in the eyes of Mexican Justice. See you tomorrow!
