**Karla Pedrin To Replace Fidel Mogollón in Baja California Congress**
Karla Pedrin Rembao is set to be appointed as the substitute for the Congress of Baja California representative, Danny Fidel Mogollón Pérez, from the XV District of Rosarito. This change follows Mogollón Pérez’s request for a leave of absence amidst allegations of domestic violence against his wife, Iracema Labastida, which emerged on social media on October 12th.
In an interview, Congresswoman Michelle Allende stated that Karla Pedrin could take office shortly to continue addressing the political agenda previously set by Mogollón Pérez. Before this new role, Pedrin Rembao served as the head of the Institute of Women (Inmujer) at the beginning of Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration as the state governor.
The decision to appoint Pedrin came after accusations against Mogollón Pérez surfaced, alleging he committed domestic violence following an incident at the JackPot Casino in Rosarito. The Rosarito Citizen Security Office reported the incident occurred at 12:30 AM, involving a couple’s altercation witnessed near the casino. Iracema Valencia Labastida reported her partner had aggressively pulled her out of a vehicle, resulting in minor injuries from a fall after a heated argument.
However, Iracema later took to Facebook to refute the allegations. In a video, she insisted that the claims were completely false, showing her face on camera to prove she had not been harmed. “I’m just here to clarify that what’s going around on social media is absolutely false. I’m going to a quinceañera with my beloved husband and children. Everything is fine, don’t worry,” she declared, with the Deputy appearing in the background with their children.
Michelle Allende, who chairs the Gender Equality Commission in Baja California’s Congress, mentioned that the decision for Mogollón Pérez to take a leave was to allow investigations by the State Attorney General’s Office on the altercation claims. Additionally, she indicated that only after the investigations are concluded will any decision be made regarding his return.
**Additional Context on the Incident**
Further exploration of the incident reveals that community responses have been mixed. Some individuals have come out in support of the deputy due to the wife’s denial of violence, yet others urge for a thorough investigation before drawing conclusions, reflecting on the broader context of gender-based violence challenges in the region.
Interestingly, the scenario has put a spotlight on the importance of handling domestic violence accusations with due diligence and sensitivity. The appointment of Karla Pedrin symbolizes a proactive approach to ensure legislative duties continue unhindered while addressing serious social issues concurrently.
