The governor of Oaxaca said that approximately 200,000 Oaxacans currently reside in Baja California, in search of better living conditions. For this reason, he highlighted the importance of this new space and thanked Mayor Burgueño Ruiz of Tijuana for his support and willingness to collaborate.
Baja California’s Secretary General of the Government Alfredo Álvarez Cardenas, representing Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, spoke about the importance of this office issuing birth certificates, as they are a recognition of people’s identities.
