Protests Over ISSSTECALI Reform

Bureaucrats warn of disruptions like border checkpoint blockades and toll booth takeovers in protest of ISSSTECALI reform. Tensions escalate in Baja California amidst growing opposition.

**Potential Protests by Bureaucrats Against ISSSTECALI Reform**

Active and retired bureaucrats have announced potential disruptions, including blockades at border checkpoints, work stoppages, and taking control of toll booths, to show their opposition to the proposed reform of the State Institute of Social Security and Social Services for Government and Municipality Workers of Baja California (ISSSTECALI). This warning came from Fernando Subías Ramírez, a representative of retired workers from the State Commission of Public Services of Tijuana (CESPT).

Subías Ramírez mentioned that on Tuesday at 4 PM, there will be a special union meeting to decide on the actions they will take against the ISSSTECALI reform. He indicated that if the proposed measures by union leader Guillermo Aldrete do not receive support from the workers and retirees, they will take matters into their own hands and decide on their plan for protests.

Additionally, there is a possibility of blockading the Pemex supply plant in Playas de Rosarito, highlighting the lengths to which these workers are willing to go in their protest against the reform.

As tensions rise over the proposed ISSSTECALI reform, bureaucrats are questioning their union’s approach, demanding stronger opposition. The reform, which is said not to affect workers’ rights, has nevertheless faced significant opposition from both current and retired employees. The local government, represented by Burgueño Ruíz, claims not to owe any debts to ISSSTECALI, yet the unrest continues.

Furthermore, the city of Tijuana finds itself lacking a concrete plan to handle potential mass deportations, emphasizing the need for better cross-border planning between California and Baja California. Amidst these complexities, the call for the return of the Migration Fund to support shelters is growing stronger, as stated by local representatives. With insufficient municipal funds to address the needs of migrants, these issues highlight the broader challenges faced by the region in handling social services and reforms.
