**State Workers Protest Blocks Access to Baja California Center**

On Wednesday, November 27th, state and municipal workers, along with retirees, staged a significant protest that blocked access to the Baja California Center. Their demonstration was in opposition to the proposed reforms to ISSSTECALI. This protest coincided with a scheduled morning press conference by Baja California’s Governor, Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda. The disruption forced the press event to be paused as the workers voiced their grievances.

The demonstrators were predominantly concerned about the implications of the reforms on their pensions and benefits. They are asking for a thorough financial review of ISSSTECALI before any changes are implemented. This situation is developing, and more information is expected as further events unfold.

As tensions rise regarding the proposed ISSSTECALI reforms, bureaucrats are not only blocking convention centers but also planning more significant actions. Reports suggest they are preparing to strike, halt operations at key border points, and even take over ticket booths. The protesters demand stronger advocacy from their unions against the reform initiatives they believe could negatively impact their livelihoods.

Adding to the unrest, there are murmurs of potential blockades at the Pemex supply plant in Playas de Rosarito, which could affect fuel distribution. Economists warn that these disruptions, coupled with potential tariff impositions, could influence inflation and exchange rates, already putting pressure on local industry and trade.

In a related development, it was announced that starting January, private security guards will be hired to monitor border crossings, funded by the “Fondos Tijuana” program. This move aims to address security concerns in the area amidst the ongoing protests and potential economic challenges.
