### Secretary of Government Acknowledges “Lack of Communication with Councilors”
**Tijuana, September 12, 2024** – Following recent public confrontations between Tijuana’s Mayor, Montserrat Caballero Ramírez, and many city councilors, tensions have started to ease. José Cañada García, the Secretary of Municipal Government, has revealed that a significant issue at the heart of these conflicts was a lack of communication.
Speaking on the matter, Cañada Garcia noted, “I realized it was a lack of attention, a lack of communication, and reviewing the councilors’ issues that sparked their discontent. The instruction from the mayor was that we needed to work with the councilors, and that’s what we have been doing.”
The Secretary also mentioned his effort to address the outstanding initiatives from other councilors, suggesting that no additional City Council sessions would be scheduled in the coming weeks. This approach aims to prevent further misunderstandings and ensure better cooperation and dialogue between all parties involved.
