Sheinbaum will visit Baja California Sur: security and health crisis on the agenda

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo will visit Baja California this Saturday. Although the official agenda has not been detailed, the main topics expected to be the security strategy and the "health crisis" facing the state, according to local reports.

TIJUANA, BC—The presidential agenda will focus on the northern border this weekend. President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo is scheduled to visit Baja California this Saturday as part of her working tours across the country.

The visit is generating high expectations in the state, as it comes at a time when two issues dominate public concern: the incessant violence and a reported "health crisis" affecting the state.

It's practically a given that security will be one of the key focuses of the presidential visit. Sheinbaum's arrival coincides with Mayor Ismael Burgueño's recent launch of the ambitious "Safe Tijuana" plan, a strategy that requires strong coordination and federal support to be successful.

The President's visit will be an opportunity to:

• Evaluate coordination: Analyze the joint work between federal forces (National Guard, SEDENA, Navy) and state and municipal corporations.
• Support local strategies: Provide political and, possibly, financial support for plans like "Safe Tijuana."
• Send a message: Reaffirm the federal government's commitment to pacifying one of the country's most violent regions.

Another topic that, according to local press reports, could be addressed is a "health crisis" facing Baja California. Although the details of this crisis have not been specified in the reports, the president's presence could serve as a platform to announce measures, investments, or federal programs aimed at strengthening the state's health system.

The preliminary agenda, based on previous visits, suggests the president could lead public events in various municipalities. Previous reports of presidential tours to the region have included events in Rosarito Beach and Mexicali.

Claudia Sheinbaum's visit to Baja California will be closely followed by all sectors of society. Citizens expect concrete announcements and solutions to the state's most pressing problems, while political actors will seek to demonstrate unity and gain the support of the federal executive branch.
