Sinaloa Deputy Elizabeth Montoya Returns to Work After January Attack

Her reappearance signals party backing alongside lingering safety questions.

Overview

  • Montoya, who was wounded in a January shooting, rejoined the Sinaloa state congress on Tuesday in Culiacán after more than two months away.
  • She said she is not afraid to resume her role and plans to push bills that aim to improve the lives of children and teenagers in the state.
  • At a news conference, she appeared with Sergio Raúl Esquer Peiro, the newly appointed state leader of Movimiento Ciudadano, the national political party she represents.
  • She did not rule out seeking her party’s nomination for Culiacán mayor at a later date, and Esquer Peiro said he would not rule out a future run for governor.
  • The January 28 attack also targeted fellow deputy Sergio Torres Félix, who remains in recovery, and there have been no new public details on arrests or added security measures.
