### Opposition Councilors of the Upcoming Tijuana City Council Gather
The seven opposition council members who will constitute the next XXV City Council of Tijuana held a meeting this week for an initial gathering, announced Ranier Falcón Martinez, an elected councilor from the Solidarity Encounter Party (PES). According to Falcón Martinez, the purpose of the meeting was not to form a unified opposition bloc but to find common ground on important issues affecting Tijuana residents and identify solutions to existing problems.
They have yet to meet with the elected mayor, Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, but they hope to do so in the coming weeks. The seven councilors entering the next City Council are from the PES, National Action Party (PAN), Labor Party (PT), and Citizen Movement (MC).
“We agreed to be fully committed to helping the citizens. We will review all pending issues,” stated Rainer Falcón Martinez. He further mentioned that the councilors aim to protect the interests of the community and act in service to the public.
Among the pending issues are the salary increase for police officers and the assignment of land for Fire Station 1 by the outgoing administration. While they are currently aware of these matters through the media, they plan to examine them in detail once they take office.
“If it’s within our capabilities, as it should be, we will try to resolve these issues and support President Ismael Burgueño,” Falcón Martinez added. One of the greatest challenges he identified is addressing the long-standing issue of insecurity, for which new crime prevention programs will be promoted. Additionally, complaints about lack of road maintenance and public lighting, which were prominent during the electoral campaign, will also be prioritized.
