PT congresswoman accuses BC Prosecutor's Office of intimidating her with surveillance

Tensions between the Baja California State Attorney General's Office (FGE) and the Legislative Branch have escalated. Labor Party (PT) representative Yohana Hinojosa Gilvaja publicly denounced an alleged act of intimidation by FGE agents, which occurred days after she summoned the state attorney general.

A serious allegation of alleged abuse of power has emerged from the Baja California Congress. Local Labor Party representative Yohana Hinojosa has directly accused the State Attorney General's Office of attempting to intimidate her, describing an incident in which an official FGE vehicle stopped in front of her home in Tijuana to photograph her, her car, and her house.

The legislator has directly linked this fact to her oversight work, particularly her recent actions to demand accountability from the head of the FGE, María Elena Andrade Ramírez.

According to Representative Hinojosa, the incident occurred on June 25. Upon arriving at her home, a vehicle belonging to the FGE stopped behind her. An agent inside the vehicle took pictures of her with a cell phone.

The official justification she received from the central prosecutor, Max Ramos, was that the unit was in the area conducting an investigation into domestic violence. However, the congresswoman strongly refuted this explanation.

"The central prosecutor, Max Ramos, justified the unit's presence by claiming a supposed investigation (…) on the block below. They couldn't have gone the wrong way. This is clear intimidation." – Yohana Hinojosa Gilvaja, PT congresswoman (paraphrased statements).

For Hinojosa, the timing of the incident is no coincidence. It occurred just after she, along with other legislators, secured unanimous support in Congress to subpoena Prosecutor General Andrade Ramírez, who, according to the deputies, has repeatedly failed to comply with prior requests from the legislative branch.

Faced with what she considers an unacceptable act of intimidation, the PT representative has not hesitated to point the finger at the highest levels of power in Baja California.

She held Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda and Prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez directly responsible for "anything" that might happen to her, her family, or her team.

"I will not remain silent, they will not arrest me, and they will not intimidate me," the legislator declared, stating that she was making the public complaint as a protective measure. This conflict highlights a worrying tension between two branches of government, where the oversight work of a legislator is allegedly met with surveillance and intimidation tactics by the body charged with prosecuting justice.
