Sen. Enrique Inzunza Cázares (Morena) missed his third consecutive ordinary session of the Permanent Commission at the Senate of the Republic [1].
His absence is occurring as the U.S. government alleges links between the senator and the Sinaloa Cartel. These accusations have placed Inzunza under significant scrutiny and created political pressure regarding his presence in the chamber.
Reports indicate that Inzunza's name did not appear on the Senate's electronic board during the proceedings [2]. The lack of registration suggests a complete absence from the official record of the session.
There are conflicting reports regarding whether the senator was represented. One report said that neither Inzunza nor a substitute appeared registered in the Permanent Commission [2]. However, a separate report said that Murat attended the session as a substitute [1].
The U.S. government has reportedly accused 10 officials and former officials of various ties to organized crime [1]. This broader investigation underscores the tension between Mexican political figures and U.S. law enforcement agencies.
Inzunza has now missed three sessions in a row [1]. The continued absence of a high-ranking Morena official during a period of international legal tension has drawn attention to the internal stability of the party's representation in the Senate.

The absence of Senator Inzunza, coupled with the contradictory reports of his substitution, suggests a state of flux or instability within the Morena party's handling of the U.S. allegations. When a sitting senator is missing from the official board during a high-profile international dispute, it often signals either a strategic withdrawal to avoid public scrutiny or a deeper internal crisis regarding the official's viability in office.
