March 28 (UPI) -- Javier Corral, the governor of Mexico's Chihuahua state, said his government does not have the resources to combat organized crime and accused the ruling party of abandoning opposition party politicians.
Corral on Monday said the PRI, or Institutional Revolutionary Party, to which President Enrique Peña Nieto belongs, has failed opposition governments nationwide, including Corral's own National Action Party. He said the PRI wants to make the security situation in Chihuahua a political issue to distract the public from the PRI's own failures.
