The Anti-Corruption Commission<\/strong> of Nuevo Le\u00f3n<\/strong> is set to reactivate two political trials against Governor Samuel Garc\u00eda<\/strong> after over a year of stagnation in the local congress. This decision is based on resolutions from the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation (TEPJF)<\/strong> and aims to resume processes suspended due to political disagreements.<\/p>\n The files concerning the political trials were initially analyzed in November 2024<\/strong> and revisited in February 2025<\/strong>, only to be frozen subsequently. Armida Serrato Flores<\/strong>, the president of the Anti-Corruption Commission, believes that the current political climate allows for the continuation of these processes. A session has been scheduled for Monday at 1:00 p.m.<\/strong> to advance legislative opinions regarding the trials.<\/p>\n The trials focus on two primary allegations:<\/p>\n Misuse of Power in the Electoral Process<\/strong>: This includes Governor Garc\u00eda’s alleged interventions during the federal electoral process<\/strong>, which the TEPJF ruled as conferring an undue advantage to candidates Luis Donaldo Colosio Riojas<\/strong> and Martha Herrera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Promotion of a Controversial Raffle<\/strong>: The second trial concerns the promotion of a Cybertruck raffle<\/strong>, allegedly tied to the presidential campaign of Jorge \u00c1lvarez M\u00e1ynez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Serrato Flores confirmed that both cases have received prior electoral authority resolutions and are now proceeding under the guidelines set out by the State Impeachment Law<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Currently, there are 19 impeachment files<\/strong> against Governor Garc\u00eda, with the Anti-Corruption Commission indicating that only two are ready to advance. Concurrently, the Attorney General’s Office (FGR)<\/strong> is investigating allegations of operations involving illicit resources connected to Garcia, suggesting a much broader scope of scrutiny against him.<\/p>\n The political climate surrounding these trials is highly charged. Legislators from the Morena party<\/strong> have expressed their support for the investigations led by the FGR. They have indicated a willingness to pursue impeachment not only against Garc\u00eda but also against his wife, Mariana Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong>, if substantial evidence emerges.<\/p>\n Conversely, leaders from the Citizen Movement<\/strong> party, including Sandra Pamanes<\/strong>, have dismissed the allegations as lacking sufficient material to move forward. She described the situation as a “media show,” questioning the motivations of political adversaries in pursuing the trials.<\/p>\n As the Congress of Nuevo Le\u00f3n<\/strong> braces for potential legislative disputes surrounding Samuel Garc\u00eda, the pressure mounts amid ongoing federal investigations and escalating allegations of corruption. The reactivation of these political trials serves as a pivotal moment in the intersection of law and politics in the region, igniting discussions about accountability, governance, and the role of political motivations in legislative actions.<\/p>\n With the political landscape rapidly evolving, the outcomes of these trials could have significant implications for the governance of Nuevo Le\u00f3n and set a precedent for how political accountability is managed in the state.<\/p>\nBackground of the Trials<\/h3>\n
