**Tijuana to Appoint New Security Secretary: Key Meeting Scheduled**
Tijuana is set to appoint a new Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection this Monday, according to the city’s Mayor, Ismael Burgueño Ruiz. The announcement follows a special session of the Cabildo, where city council members will vote on the matter. This decision has been eagerly anticipated as the city seeks to enhance its public safety measures.
Mayor Burgueño Ruiz stated that a formal invitation had been extended to the council members for this decisive session. He withheld the names of the candidates under consideration but suggested the possibility of including Julián Leyzaola Pérez, a former Secretary of Security for Tijuana. The mayor has yet to confirm if Leyzaola will indeed be one of the options presented to the council.
The selection process will be based on voting and not imposed, ensuring a democratic decision-making process. Discussions among council members from various political factions have been described as constructive, with hopes for a unanimous resolution on appointing a new security leader.
