Tijuana.- The delegate of the federal government in Baja California, Jesus Alejandro Ruiz Uribe, he joked in a live broadcast about the families that survive when the crisis caused by the Covid-19 virus.
In the middle of a question and answer session with state reporters, which was recorded and broadcast live through his social network, the official finished answering a journalist about the losses that there will be for the entity.
Although in a serious tone he affirmed that there would be losses but that there would also be the possibility of rebuilding himself, in the end he ended up adding what he later justified as a joke: “A much more supportive society will emerge. And a new strengthening of the family will emerge … the ones that survive … hehehe … No, I’m kidding. “
Almost immediately and regaining seriousness in his face, the official continued with the question and answer session with the local press.
Baja California is one of the three states in the country with the highest mortality from Covid-19, as revealed on Tuesday by the Secretary of Health of Baja California, Alonso Pérez Rico, with 12 deaths.

Apologize
A few hours after the publication was broadcast on social networks and was a “trending topic” on Twitter, the official released a video, accompanied by his wife, in which he apologized to those who have been offended by his statements.
He explained that the reference was for the families that “survived” the confinement and not the virus, in addition to saying that there is a campaign against him to defame the Fourth Transformation.
