BCS Congress establishes commission to analyze the creation of the sixth municipality in Cabo San Lucas

The initiative arises in response to a citizen proposal presented on February 25, 2025 by the Citizen Council for the 6th Municipality of Cabo San Lucas .

The Baja California Sur State Congress has established the Special Plural Coadjuvant Commission to analyze the creation of the sixth municipality in the state, specifically in the town of Cabo San Lucas .

This commission aims to collaborate with the Permanent Commission on Political Affairs in the technical, legal, and budgetary evaluation of the feasibility of municipalizing this area.

The initiative arises in response to a citizen proposal presented on February 25, 2025 by the Citizen Council for the 6th Municipality of Cabo San Lucas .

The commission's formation comes after the expiration of the legal deadline for the Political Affairs Committee to issue a ruling on the matter.

Representative Sergio Ricardo Huerta Leggs , president of the commission, emphasized that this is the third time in the history of Baja California Sur that an attempt has been made to create a sixth municipality. However, in previous legislative sessions, such creation was unsuccessful due to a lack of political will.

The commission will be responsible for conducting a comprehensive analysis that includes technical, legal, and budgetary studies to determine the feasibility of municipalizing Cabo San Lucas .

This process seeks to address the demands of the local population, who have expressed interest in having their own municipal administration that more directly addresses their needs and promotes more equitable development.

The creation of a new municipality involves a number of considerations, such as territorial delimitation, resource distribution, administrative infrastructure, and self-management capacity.

Therefore, the commission will work together with experts and representatives of civil society to ensure a transparent and well-founded process.

.

The initiative has generated diverse opinions within Southern California society. While some sectors support the proposal as an opportunity to improve governance and support for local communities, others express concerns about the potential financial and administrative challenges associated with creating a new municipality.

The State Congress has indicated that a participatory process will be carried out that includes public consultations and the gathering of opinions from the residents of Cabo San Lucas and other regions of Baja California Sur .

This is to ensure that the final decision reflects the general interest and contributes to the well-being of the population.

The establishment of the Special Plural Coadjuvant Commission marks a significant step in the analysis of the possible creation of the sixth municipality in Baja California Sur .

The work of this commission will be essential to determining the viability and potential benefits of this proposal, with a view to strengthening the administrative structure and promoting more balanced development in the entity.
