### Primary Article: State Civil Protection Halts Tijuana Boardwalk Construction
**Tijuana, Sept 18, 2024** – As a preventive measure, the State Civil Protection Coordination has suspended the rehabilitation of the Tijuana Beaches boardwalk to ensure the safety of visitors. The work may resume once companies comply with safety protocols and submit the required contingency plans and permits, according to Salvador Cervantes Hernández, the head of the agency.
On September 13, Civil Protection personnel inspected the boardwalk area and found that construction machinery was operating too close to tourists and passersby. The inspection also noted inadequate signage and a lack of protective barriers in hazardous areas.
Speaking to the media on September 18, Cervantes Hernández mentioned that some excavations had left vertical slopes, and ocean waves were undermining the edges of concrete slabs, posing a potential accident risk.
“We have been conducting daily reviews of the conditions present,” he explained. Cervantes also indicated that the XXIV City Council is collaborating with the contracted companies, Crisol Constructora S.A. de C.V. and Urbanizadora ROMA S.A. de C.V., to meet the safety requirements. The state agency now awaits the submission of proper documentation and the implementation of necessary signage and barriers.
Once these measures are in place, the seals on the worksite may be lifted, contingent on the companies holding all required permits, stated Cervantes.
Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero Ramírez confirmed that work on the signage, as mandated by state Civil Protection, is already underway and may take two days to complete.
“The project has commenced, and it must be completed at some point, whether it’s today, tomorrow, or next year. The key is to meet the signage requirements for the project to continue,” stressed Caballero Ramírez. She further assured that the project has been financed and emphasized that the benefit lies in its enjoyment by the citizens.
Caballero Ramírez also dismissed as “a very silly idea” the notion that the project was halted to credit the next municipal administration with its completion. She reiterated that the focus should remain on the citizens enjoying the project once finished.

After nearly a month, the Federal Judicial Council (CJF) has brought an end to the national strike of judges and magistrates. This strike had significantly disrupted judicial processes across the country, leading to delays and a backlog of cases. The resolution was reached after extensive negotiations between the CJF and the striking members.
Details of the agreement have not been fully disclosed, but it is expected that the judiciary will now move forward with a plan to address the disruptions caused by the strike and resume normal operations. The CJF has assured the public that efforts are being put in place to expedite the handling of postponed cases and to minimize the impact on those seeking legal recourse.
