City Councilors of Ensenada have raised their voices against the "Water Law", a movement that aims to municipalize the water operating agencies in Baja California.

A large majority of the members of the Ensenada City Council, presided by Mayor Armando Ayala Robles, have addressed an appeal to the municipal trustee, Elizabeth Muñoz Huerta, with the intention of filing a constitutional controversy.

The appeal requested by 70 percent of the City Council would be directed against the legislative process that took place in the July 28 session, when the XXIII Legislature of Baja California was still in charge. In addition to the petition, they are also objecting to the publication and promulgation of Decree 289, which reforms the Law that Regulates the Potable Water Service and the Organic Law of the Public Administration of the State of Baja California.

It violates the Organic Law of the Legislative Branch, the constitutional mandate to invite the municipalities to participate in the work of the committee, as well as the autonomy of the municipalities, by making such a significant decision without consulting them.

Likewise, Article 115 of the Magna Carta is violated, since there is no approval from the city councils to achieve the municipalization.

The document addressed to Muñoz Huerta is signed by Carmen Salazar, Adolfo Muñoz, Yolanda Navarro, Carmen Jiménez, Diego Lara, Brenda Valenzuela, Marisol Sánchez, Alejandra Camargo and Dora de la Rosa.
