墨西哥辛阿罗亚州州长因美国毒品指控申请休假

77岁的墨西哥辛阿罗亚州州长鲁本·罗恰·莫亚申请了无限期的临时休假，超过30天1。这一决定来自于他面临的美国毒品走私指控——美国检控官在4月指控他与辛阿罗亚贩毒集团共谋贩运毒品进入美国1。这是美国首次公开指控现任墨西哥政治人物1。

罗恰的这一举措发生在他宣布复出仅一天后1。他曾在5月因墨西哥检察机关调查而离职1。对于他的复出计划，总统克劳迪亚·谢因鲍姆表示不赞成，她强调"权力若无原则便成傲慢；权力若无限制便成滥用；权力若忘记人民最终将与历史相悖"1，并表示个人利益不应置于国家利益之上1。曾被视为谢因鲍姆盟友的罗恰与前总统洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔关系密切1。

Ruben Rocha Moya, the 77-year-old governor of Mexico's Sinaloa state, has requested an indefinite temporary leave from his position, just one day after announcing his return to office 1. The move comes amid mounting pressure following serious allegations from U.S. prosecutors, who in April charged Rocha with conspiracy to traffic drugs into the United States in collaboration with the Sinaloa drug cartel 1. This marks the first public accusation by the U.S. against a sitting Mexican political figure 1.

Rocha's decision to step back follows previous controversy when he left office in May due to an investigation by Mexican authorities 1. His attempted comeback faced immediate opposition from President Claudia Sheinbaum, who criticized the move by stating that "power without principles becomes arrogance; power without limits becomes abuse; power that forgets the people will ultimately contradict history" 1. Once considered an ally of Sheinbaum and closely associated with former president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Rocha now faces significant domestic and international legal challenges 1.
