**San Lázaro’s Committee Dismisses Charges Against Cuauhtémoc Blanco**
In a significant decision, the committee of the Chamber of Deputies has chosen not to proceed with the indictment of Cuauhtémoc Blanco, the former governor of Morelos, who served from October 1, 2018, to August 31, 2024. Blanco had been accused of an attempted violation by his half-sister, Nidia Fabiola “N”.
The president of the legislative body, Hugo Eric Flores Cervantes, announced that the request for Blanco’s legal immunity removal was dismissed due to inadequacies in the investigation presented by the Morelos prosecutor’s office. The committee voted three to one against moving forward with the process, a decision that sends Flores Cervantes’ proposal to the Lower House, where it is expected to be rejected and subsequently returned.
Flores Cervantes emphasized that the evidence provided did not fulfill the necessary criteria for criminal proceedings. He highlighted that the investigation was insufficient, pointing out that witness interviews were not conducted, and critical forensic examinations and site inspections were absent.
The dismissing decision was based purely on legal grounds, without political considerations, Flores Cervantes noted. He stressed that the deputies’ role is not to investigate but to operate within legal boundaries. Blanco’s case exposed procedural gaps, affecting the ability of the committee to advance with the indictment request. This matter now returns to the Morelos State Prosecutor’s office, which will continue to represent the public interest.
