Authorities make “balls” in the case of Luis Enrique Ramírez

Culiacán, Sinaloa.- The Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, reported yesterday in Culiacán that she had already been arrested for the murder of journalist Luis Enrique Ramírez. Later, the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, denied the federal official and said, in an interview, that Rodríguez was surely confused. Subsequently, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, who was at a public event in the Sinaloan capital, retracted the information provided, arguing that it is up to the Sinaloa Attorney General’s Office to provide that information. The origin The discrepancy arose after the afternoon of June 6, Sinaloa Attorney General Sara Bruna Quiñónez Estrada reported that the crime was solved. Through a press release, the Sinaloa prosecutor explained that the alleged perpetrators have been identified and the motive for the crime has been defined, but she did not give details of the investigation.
He made it clear that, despite not having ruled out any line of investigation, at this time they already ruled out his work as a journalist as a motive for the crime, without communicating evidence in this regard. Reporters Without Borders journalist Balbina Flores said the Sinaloa prosecutor’s announcement about Ramirez’s murder says nothing new. On the differences in the statements of the federal authorities and the Sinaloa prosecutor, he commented that as an organization they have seen the failures in communication, which generates uncertainty. Trinidad Valdez Peñuelas, president of the Fraternity of Communicators Freedom of Expression, A.C., said that the Sinaloa prosecutor was bad for Governor Rubén Rocha Moya and failed to fulfill the commitment he made.” They did not give him the times, the elements he did not give, he was brief, advantageous and aimed to kick the boat forward, that is, to gain a little time to be able to fill himself with more resources, with more evidentiary elements that could solve this problem. ” He said that the only thing that denotes the information is indifference and apathy, “to present a work that he has not done and to demonstrate that he did not have the ability to carry out the word pledged by the governor himself just last Monday in the morning in which he accompanied President AMLO.” Journalist María de los Ángeles Moreno said that it is not a solved case, since there is no sentence to those responsible. “They went ahead. That things are not done in a hurry to silence public opinion,” he added.
