When the pro-municipality movement of Rosarito was being formed, Tijuana did not take Rosaritans into account, and Ensenada was insistent on annexing northern Rosarito.

This is how Hugo Eduardo Torres, former president of the first Municipal Council and ex-mayor, remembers it.

He attended to honor the municipalists on June 29, the day when State Congress deputies signed Decree No. 166, recognizing the birth of the Fifth Municipality in Baja California.

The well-known hotel entrepreneur congratulated the president of the Pro-Municipality Committee of Rosarito, Nancy Josefina Sánchez, for promoting these celebrations, which give a sense of belonging and identity to new generations.

He said that Rosarito will have a better future as its economy becomes more commercial and more Rosaritans participate in its growth dynamics.

Among other personalities, the leader Norma Sánchez and the elected local Deputy Fidel Mogollón also attended the placement of the floral offering at the foot of the Municipalists’ obelisk.
