Overview
- José Alberto Abud Flores asked the president to review what he calls illegal actions tied to his January 12 detention inside the Universidad Autónoma de Campeche and his subsequent removal.
- Abud, who is under investigation for drug possession and remains free during the process, alleges state agents planted narcotics and used verbal and physical force to take him to the prosecutor’s office.
- He says pressures from state officials began in 2022 to install outsiders in university posts and to cede assets, and he recounts threats to academics and an incident targeting a university vehicle.
- Abud argues his ouster violated UACAM rules, asserting the academic secretary should have served temporarily and noting the council met off campus at a convention center with state police present to appoint Fanny Maldonado Guillermo as rector.
- Governor Layda Sansores publicly disclaimed involvement, defended the council’s process as lawful and uncontested, and criticized ANUIES for overstepping, while the university’s leadership change remains in effect.
