COPPPAL: The Permanent Conference of Political Parties of Latin America and the Caribbean expresses its solidarity and announces it will monitor the case in international forums.
Bishop of Zacatecas: Sigifredo Noriega Barceló signs a letter with his personal testimony about Ruffo's honesty, expressly declining to judge the facts under investigation.

AADF: Acción por los Derechos Fundamentales publishes the manifesto "¿Y si…?" in Tijuana on presumption of innocence and due process; the text does not mention Ruffo by name.

References to crimes describe allegations and procedural stages. Being linked to proceedings is not a conviction. No guilty judgment has been issued, and the presumption of innocence applies.
