Title: Sandra Ávila Beltrán, ‘La Reina del Pacífico’, Lanza Duras Críticas contra Felipe Calderón Hinojosa
‘La Reina del Pacífico’, whose real name is Sandra Ávila Beltrán, has launched a scathing attack against former Mexican President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa. In a recent interview with host Verónica Gallardo on the program ‘El Chisme TV México’, Ávila Beltrán described Calderón as a "man who made my life miserable… a drunk, a degenerate, a misogynist, a lunatic… even a drug addict."
The 65-year-old former narcotraficante, who was arrested in 2007 during Calderón’s presidency and released in 2015 under Peña Nieto’s administration, expressed her disapproval of Calderón’s decision to move to Madrid, Spain, where he currently resides. She pointed out, "He’s now a ‘great citizen of Spain’. With all the money he stole from Mexico."
During the interview, Ávila Beltrán also recounted the harsh conditions of her imprisonment, attributing them to the Mexican penitentiary system and Genaro García Luna, Calderón’s then-Secretary of Public Security. She spent a year and a half in a Mexican prison before being transferred to Miami, USA.
Calderón’s decision to begin a new life in Europe has been widely criticized. In December 2022, Spanish newspaper El País reported that Calderón had obtained a residence and work permit as a highly qualified professional, backed by former Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznar.
Despite the controversy surrounding him, Calderón has remained an active figure in Mexican public life. His involvement was particularly notable during the 2023-2024 federal electoral process, where he publicly supported Xóchitl Gálvez Ruiz, the presidential candidate of the PAN-PRI-PRD alliance.
The interview, conducted by Gallardo and other hosts, adds another layer to the discussion surrounding Calderón’s presidency, his aftermath, and his critics’ opinions. As Ávila Beltrán’s statements highlight, the legacy and actions of Mexico’s past presidents continue to spark debate and divisiveness among the public.
