Baja California elections as the most violent – Telemundo San Diego (20)

TIJUANA- As the most violent elections in Baja California, analysts described the June 6 contest, some where they were even described by the state governor as serious and planned to generate intimidation in voters.

The virtual winner for the mayoralty of Tijuana, Montserrat Caballero told TLEMUNDO20 on Monday that she was not surprised by the events recorded, as they showed the reality of the city.

“It did not surprise me because it is what they live every day, our eastern colonies, every day they experience this violence, yesterday it was exhibited,” said the virtual winner to the Tijuana mayor’s office.

A violence that took the poll workers by surprise.

“My neighbors come to vote in this polling place, you don’t expect one of those things to happen,” said the polling station worker who witnessed a polling fire on June 6 in Tijuana with a broken voice.

“We were focused on counting the votes, when a young man approached with a bottle with a liquid that appeared to be like a soft drink like soda and threw it on the tables and to the people and they did not care,” said the witness. .

Baja California Governor Jaime Bonilla assured on Monday morning that the violent events were planned.

“The prosecution thinks that they are human remains that they had somehow refrigerated and they were going to use them to operate that day, scare people, throw them into the boxes so that people would run away,” said Bonilla.

He even dared to blame the candidate for governor on the part of the Social Encounter Party (PES), Jorge Hank, for them.

“Sadly, so much violence is not used in Baja California, at least historically during elections. But the common denominator, whenever there has been violence, has been that Mr. Hank has been on the ballot and well, I am well thought out, ”said the governor of Baja California.

TELEMUNDO 20, asked the candidate’s communication team; Those who said they would not give any position on the matter, however, analysts assured that they see the picture differently.

“For more things that can be hung on Hank Rhon, I do not think he was interested in creating that, I think he comes from another place,” said Benedicto Ruiz, a political analyst.

But the analyst agreed that organized crime tried to influence the election.

“Pressing in some places to prevent an official from promoting, to place another, who may favor their interests,” Ruiz said.

However, both the current governor and the virtual winner of the governorship, Marina del Pilar, took advantage of their speeches to accuse their opponents of these violent acts.

“Neither together, nor stealing the ballot boxes, criminals that is what they are, criminals that is why they are not going to return to power,” said Del Pilar, in his celebration speech in Mexicali.

Meanwhile in Tijuana, the memory of the most violent election day will remain for those who were witnesses and analysts.

“The prosecution has already learned about many of the generators of violence both in the Mexicali Valley and in Tijuana,” Bonilla reported.

The state guard registered between June 6 and this Monday, at least 37 people arrested on charges related to electoral crimes and trespassing in Mexicali, as well as one detainee in Tijuana for violation of the federal firearms law and explosives.
