The judicial body determined that the aforementioned statements reproduced stereotypes that affect the full exercise of women's political rights and undermine their performance in public office. As part of the ruling, the Tribunal established the following sanctions for Bonilla and Moreno: Public reprimand for those responsible. Registration in the National and State Register of Persons Sanctioned for Gender-Based Political Violence Against Women. Repair measures, including the obligation to receive training on gender perspective. The determination became final, consolidating a relevant precedent in the institutional protection of women's political rights in Baja California. It should be noted that the ruling is issued in a national context of strengthening legal mechanisms to prevent and punish gender-based political violence. The Electoral Justice Tribunal of the State of Baja California confirmed a formal sanction for gender-based political violence against former Governor Jaime Bonilla Valdez, derived from expressions directed at the current state executive, Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda. The resolution also extends to Alejandro Moreno Berry and the Labor Party, who were accused of making statements during the so-called 'Peace Journeys' that violated the authority of the head of the state executive branch. This sanction is added to the criminal case against Bonilla in the Next Energy case, where he was accused of embezzlement, illegal use of powers, and abuse of authority. According to the Electoral Tribunal, the expressions made included references that generated confusion regarding the leadership of the state government, which was considered a form of gender-based political violence. Electoral authorities have reiterated that any expression that limits, nullifies, or undermines the exercise of public office for gender reasons must be sanctioned in accordance with the law. Specialists consider that the case reaffirms the limits of freedom of expression within political debate, particularly when public speeches affect the dignity, legitimacy, or performance of women in elected positions. In addition to the electoral ruling, the former governor faces other legal processes related to decisions made during his tenure, which increases the political and legal pressure against him. With this resolution, the Electoral Tribunal sends a clear message of zero tolerance for gender-based political violence and reaffirms the obligation of political actors, parties, and public figures to conduct themselves with respect for the rights and full participation of women in democratic life.
