Tijuana, August 17.- The state Congress held a solemn session commemorating the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the Baja California Constitution at the Mercado Cine Curto in Mexicali, where the document was first promulgated. The meeting was attended by state, federal, municipal, and military authorities, as well as legislators and former legislators, including Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda.
The president delivered a message in which she praised the history and progress of Baja California, highlighting the importance of this place, where the seven Constituent Assembly held meetings, "and the most important pages of our political sovereignty were written."
He also emphasized that the 1953 Constitution was always a cutting-edge constitution, the first in Mexico's local history to recognize women's suffrage, with Baja California being the first state in the country to hold elections with women on the electoral roll.
