### Government of Montserrat Caballero Leaves Issues for the Next Administration: MC
Bertha Alicia Sánchez Lara, the leader of Movimiento Ciudadano in Baja California, has expressed concerns that the administration of Tijuana’s mayor, Montserrat Caballero Ramírez, has left several unresolved issues for the next government.
Sánchez Lara opined that while the administration made some progress, including addressing debt issues, it left other critical areas neglected, which negatively impacts the residents of Tijuana.
She highlighted a concerning perception among visitors to the city due to ongoing issues of insecurity. “The perception of people visiting Tijuana is not good. We have a high incidence of violence, femicides, thefts, and assaults. It’s evident in all media; there’s no need to reinvent the wheel,” she remarked.
Furthermore, Sánchez Lara mentioned unresolved issues with various groups of workers. For example, firefighters have been protesting due to unmet salary increase promises. Similarly, other labor groups have manifested unrest over rights violations.
Despite recognizing the efforts of the outgoing mayor, Sánchez Lara pointed out the need for further improvements. She urged vigilance as the new municipal administration, led by President-elect Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, takes office on October 1st. She expects the incoming administration to be more transparent and accountable to citizens.
