**Inauguration of New Governments in Baja California**
On September 30, the new administrations in the seven municipalities of Baja California officially took office, marking a significant moment in the region’s political landscape. The Governor of Baja California, Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, was present as a witness of honor at the inauguration ceremonies of four municipalities: Tijuana, with Ismael Burgueño; Tecate, with Román Cota; Mexicali, with Norma Bustamante; and Ensenada, with Claudia Agatón taking the helm. For the remaining municipalities—Rosarito, San Quintín, and San Felipe—representatives were sent on her behalf.
This transition is particularly noteworthy due to the political alignment of all seven municipalities with the State, as they are now led by members of the Morena party. This promises more synchronized governance, although there were some coordination challenges in the past with Tijuana and Tecate. The day’s events were filled with optimism from the new Morena leaders amidst ongoing concerns about security and violence. The presence of various social, business, and academic sectors at the ceremonies highlighted the multifaceted support for this new phase in Baja California’s governance, which includes, for the first time, having seven municipalities, female leadership in four mayoral positions, a female governor, and a female President of the Republic.
