**Ensenada’s Treasury Candidate Rejected Due to CV Discrepancies**
The Municipal Oversight Office in Ensenada has rejected VÃctor González Verduzco’s nomination for the role of Municipal Treasurer, citing inconsistencies with the qualifications required by public administration norms. This decision comes amidst tensions, as the current Municipal Treasurer, Vicente Maldonado del Toro, was barred from entering his office on the morning of Thursday, March 27, 2025. This situation has prompted uncertainty, leading the mayor, Claudia Agatón Muñiz, to propose González Verduzco as a replacement.
The oversight office highlighted discrepancies in González Verduzco’s academic credentials. His resume claims he holds a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Spain and Mexico; however, this degree is not recognized by the Education Department. According to Article 52 of the Public Administration Regulations, the treasurer must possess a professional degree in accounting, finance, public administration, or a related field, which González Verduzco does not fulfill.
Additionally, González Verduzco’s prior role as Director of the Baja California High School College (Cobach) during Jaime Bonilla Valdez’s administration raised red flags. The Federal Audit Office (ASF) discovered over 138 million pesos in irregularities during this period, noting various anomalies in federal resource management led by González Verduzco and Iván López Báez.
With these concerns, the Municipal Oversight Office, led by Eli Oviedo DÃaz, has firmly declined the proposal, stating that the candidate does not meet the legal requirements necessary for the treasurer position.
