### Opposition Seeks More Dialogue and Resources for Baja California
With the recent inauguration of Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo’s administration, the opposition in Baja California is hopeful for increased resources and a better understanding of the region’s unique border dynamics. Christopher Domínguez Meraz, the president of the Municipal Steering Committee of the National Action Party (PAN) in Tijuana, cited a reduction in key budget allocations during the previous administration, which created additional challenges for the state.
“Over the past year, we saw a decrease in federal participations and contributions for Baja California. We hope that this change will benefit Baja California, especially given the neglect in healthcare issues,” Domínguez noted.
Domínguez emphasized the need for greater openness to dialogue with the opposition. Recent weeks have seen a lack of opposition involvement in discussions regarding constitutional reforms. “The Congress has turned into a mere formality for receiving initiatives and voting without any real debate. We hope Claudia Sheinbaum will change this trend, which has only served to create further division,” he stated.
Moreover, Domínguez hopes for a deeper understanding of the border’s dynamics, urging that decisions made centrally should take into account their impact on the state. “We hope that the governor’s electoral engagements yield results in this matter. We don’t see Congress or the Senate making the president understand what happens here at the border. We can only hope for change,” he concluded.
