The Anti-Corruption Commission of the Congress of Nuevo Leon reported that the impeachment against Governor Samuel Garcia is admissible, due to alleged electoral anomalies in the past elections, according to the request submitted.
This afternoon, the Commission indicated that the complaint, promoted by a deputy and the state leader of the PAN, is advancing in the committees of the local Congress.
Impeachment against Samuel Garcia
According to the impeachment complaint filed by José Luis Garza Ochoa, state president of the PRI, and Policarpo Flores Peña, state president of the PAN, the request advanced in committees this Tuesday, February 11.
With six votes in favor of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the National Action Party (PAN), and three against the Citizen Movement (MC), the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM) and Morena, the admissibility of the impeachment against the governor was approved.
Following this decision, the start of proceedings against Samuel García Ruíz has been declared admissible. He must present a report on his defense on February 20 at 4:00 p.m.
The order to address the issue and sanction the Executive corresponds to the Superior Chamber and the Specialized Regional Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation.
Complaint against Samuel García
The complaint against the governor is based on conduct that allegedly seriously damages fundamental public interests. The case is based on resolutions SRE-PSC-526/2024, SRE-PSC-533/2024, SRE-PSL-33/2024, SRE-PSL-63/2024, SRE-PSC-477/2024 and SRE-PSC-557/2024 of the Specialized Regional Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation.

The agreement states that:
“The Chief Clerk is instructed to, through the Legal Department of Congress, summon the accused to inform this Commission what is convenient for his right, forwarding him copies of the complaint and the documents that comprise it, and setting February 20 at 4:00 p.m. for him to submit his respective report.”
Finally, the Superior Chamber and the Specialized Regional Chamber reported that they are in the process of complying with the sanctions that Congress must apply to the governor.
