In a significant development in Tijuana, the municipal government secretary, Miguel Ángel Bujanda Ruiz, has tendered his resignation following a series of threats. This decision was confirmed by Mayor Monserrat Caballero Ramírez during a press conference.

Mayor Caballero stated that Bujanda Ruiz decided to step down to prioritize the safety and well-being of his family, consisting of his wife and three young children. During their discussion, two options were presented to him: one being a temporary leave from his duties until the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) could clarify the situation. However, Bujanda Ruiz chose to resign completely to ensure he could be with his family and safeguard them.

The mayor recounted the recent instances of threats targeting various public officials, both at the state and municipal levels. In Bujanda Ruiz’s case, the threats were particularly severe, involving not just written warnings but the discovery of a body accompanied by a threatening message.

This resignation comes in the wake of a weekend incident where two bodies were found along with a menacing banner, adding to the growing concern over the safety of public officials in the area.
