FGR must seek arrest warrant against García Cabeza de Vaca: Monreal, after violation of Governor of Tamaulipas

Ricardo monreal, leader of the senators of Brunette, the majority party in both chambers of Congress, request this Sunday at the FGR (Attorney General’s Office) to ask a judge for an arrest warrant or a presentation to the governor of Tamaulipas, the opponent Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca, after the Chamber of Deputies voted in favor of the abolition of the competence.

Even Monreal went further and said that the FGR should also ask for a “red notice” to “locate and detain the person”, in reference to the red card issued by Interpol. “The Tamaulipas Congress must appoint an alternate governor,” he added in his brief but powerful message on social media.

Finally, Monreal too threatened with the intervention of the Mexican Congress, recalling that the declaration of the disappearance of powers in a State of the Federation is the power of the Senate, which Morena, the ruling party, controls.

“For the good of Tamaulipas and the country, It is practical to move away from the constitutional rupture and initiate an institutional reorientationWrote the leader of the legislative majority, who also noted that If the local Congress refuses to accept the resolution of the Chamber of Deputies, it commits contempt of a federal body higher hierarchy.

And it is that last Friday, the Chamber of Deputies became Jury of Origin and approved, by 302 votes for, 134 against and 14 abstentions, the opinion of the Investigations Section. by which it is declared that it is necessary to prosecute García Cabeza de Vaca, constitutional governor of the state of Tamaulipas, for his probable participation in organized crime crimes, operations with illicit resources and assimilated tax fraud.

However, despite the fact that the FGR requested the judgment of provenance against García Cabeza de Vaca for three different crimes, the opinion of the investigation section of San Lázaro only mentions that is certain “concerning the existence of the offense of tax evasion of equality”.

Later that same Friday, the Congress of Tamaulipas, which has a majority of the PAN (National Action Party), the same party as García Cabeza de Vaca, decided not to continue the anarchy against the current governor of Tamaulipas by 26 votes for, three against and seven abstentions, both to ratify it and recognize it in office.

the Different decisions between congresses will be defined in the last instance by the Supreme Court, before which the two legislative bodies contested. Ricardo Monreal, for his part, stressed that day that by withdrawing from his jurisdiction, the governor must answer for federal crimes, ignoring the decision of local lawmakers.

Minutes after Monreal’s explosive message, Julen Rementería, PAN coordinator in the Senate, responded to the threat. “Dear Ricardo, do not distract from this government’s persecution of its opponents. You do not have the votes to convene an extraordinary, nor two-thirds of the Senate to validate the disappearance of powers», He affirmed.

And is that this weekend the ordinary period of the sessions of the Mexican Congress having ended, the Standing Commission replaces in both rooms during these months and until the installation of the Legislative Assembly of LXV.

To call an extraordinary period, Morena needs two-thirds of the 37 votes in the Standing Committee, but the opposition bloc, i.e. 25 lawmakers in favor, but He barely accumulates 24 votes with his allies, so he could not convene the Senate plenary without the approval of the opposition..

In addition, Even if he could call an extraordinary period of the Senate, Morena would still have to approve the demise of powers in Tamaulipas with a qualified vote., that is to say also two-thirds of the Plenary, with which he does not count for the moment.
