**Exclusive Window for Missing Persons’ Families Requested**
Fernando Ocegueda Flores, the president of the Union of Missing Persons of Baja California, has called on the municipal government to establish a specialized service window dedicated exclusively to supporting victims of disappearance. This request comes after a previous administration had implemented such a service window, which was later discontinued without prior notice.
The proposed service window aims to streamline the processes for families of missing persons, allowing them to complete necessary paperwork, such as death and birth certificates, in a centralized location at no cost. This initiative is in line with a recently approved state law, the Missing Persons Law, which mandates the creation of these service windows as outlined in Article 44. Similar efforts are already underway in other states such as Nuevo León.
Ocegueda Flores highlighted the importance of these service windows in reducing the procedural delays families face, particularly in obtaining death certificates and updated birth records. He also noted that these facilities would register individuals for social programs and aid, providing essential support and resources.
The Union of Missing Persons is pressing for the establishment of these service windows in every municipality across the state. Ocegueda Flores mentioned that they have already submitted formal requests to the municipal government to expedite the creation of this service.
**Secondary Article: Calls for Additional Measures to Support Families of the Missing**
During the same discussion with municipal authorities, search collectives have also put forward several additional measures to support families dealing with disappearances. One significant proposal includes installing a memorial wall to host photographs and information of missing individuals, offering a tangible reminder of ongoing issues and honoring those affected.
Furthermore, discussions are underway about forming municipal search teams specifically tasked with finding missing persons, enhancing coordinated efforts already undertaken at the state and national levels. These local cells would provide immediate response capabilities and specialized resources to aid search operations.
As these proposals gain traction, the focus remains on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of support systems for families, ensuring timely assistance and comprehensive care. Community leaders and advocates continue to champion these initiatives, aiming for robust policies that address the complex challenges surrounding disappearances.
