Tijuana Faces Council Rifts

Salaries Delayed as Council Focuses on Communication Amid Disputes. Tijuana government secretary acknowledges communication breakdown as key factor in recent friction. Decisions deferred for detailed review, emphasizing diligent governance.

## “Lack of Communication with Council Members,” Says Government Secretary

Tijuana.- The recent public disputes between Tijuana’s municipal president, Montserrat Caballero Ramírez, and a substantial number of the city’s council members have finally seen a reduction in tension. This resolution stems from the acknowledgment of communication issues within the city council.

Municipal Secretary José Cañada García highlighted the situation, pointing out that the root of recent conflicts was a lack of effective dialogue with discontented council members. “I realized it was a matter of insufficient attention and communication. Reviewing the council members’ issues brought to light the reasons behind their dissatisfaction. The mayor’s directive was for us to engage and collaborate with the council members, and that’s what we’ve been doing,” García stated.

The secretary, currently a council member on leave, also mentioned that they are evaluating pending initiatives from the other council members. This analysis signifies that additional council sessions are unlikely in the upcoming weeks.
