President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo traveled to San Quintín this week to conduct a supervisory visit of the Justice Plan for Agricultural Workers, accompanied by Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda. The joint inspection aimed to strengthen intergovernmental coordination, verify progress on established benchmarks, and guarantee that welfare initiatives are reaching the families who sustain the region’s agricultural sector.
During the visit, President Sheinbaum underscored her administration’s dedication to the people of Baja California, announcing plans to return to the region within six months to personally confirm that all projects are advancing with transparency and efficiency. The collaborative effort between federal and state authorities, she noted, ensures that social transformation in the state remains on track, with a focus on underserved neighborhoods and the long-overdue improvement of living conditions for farmworker communities.
“I want to thank you with all my heart, with deep emotion and gratitude, for your sensitivity, your commitment, and your firm decision to promote the Justice Plan for Agricultural Workers of San Quintín. This is the plan that marks a before and after in a region that for decades was forgotten and made invisible. This Justice Plan means dignity,” said Governor Marina del Pilar.
President Sheinbaum emphasized that her government’s social policy is anchored in honesty and direct engagement, channeling public resources straight to citizens to tackle systemic inequalities. Financial aid and infrastructure investments, she explained, are designed to build a foundation of equity and shared prosperity for families whose labor has driven Baja California’s agricultural growth for generations.
“I make you a promise, and I keep my word: I will return in six months to verify compliance and follow through,” the President stated. “An instruction given but never supervised is worthless. I am here giving orders, and it is my job to ensure they are carried out.”
Key components of the Justice Plan include housing and healthcare improvements, with 40,000-peso grants being distributed through the Banco del Bienestar to support home upgrades for 36,000 families. Additionally, construction is underway of a new 80-bed General Hospital that will offer medical services and medications at no cost to residents.
In the education and childcare sector, resources are being funneled directly to school committees for facility upgrades, while two new free childcare and early education centers are being built to assist working mothers in the fields.
On public services and labor rights, the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) is collaborating with state authorities to expand electrification in local neighborhoods. Meanwhile, CONAGUA is moving forward with plans to increase desalination capacity to secure potable water supplies before the end of the current administration. Authorities also confirmed that all agricultural companies will be monitored to ensure formal access to social security for their workers.
