The Comptroller General of the Republic (CGR), instructed three municipalities in the Metropolitan region to open summaries.
As reported Radio DNA, The action was ordered against the municipality of Ñuñoa, Pudahuel and Lampa, with the purpose of investigating alleged administrative faults linked to the exit plebiscite on September 4.
Specifically, the investigations were ordered as a result of talks organized on the new Constitution and a publication on official social networks of the municipalities.
The Comptroller’s Office officiated to the Municipality of Ñuñoa after the filing of two complaints for “alleged use of public resources.” This, after organizing a talk about the exit plebiscite with three ex-conventional supporters of the Approval, according to TVN.
From the municipal governance they indicated that all the ex-conventional members of the district were invited, but they were questioned for the “notorious bias” of the instance.
On the other hand, the municipality of Pudahuel, headed by Mayor Ítalo Bravo, published a graph on institutional social networks comparing the current Magna Carta with the new proposal regarding water rights.
Given this, he maintained that “it was an information campaign regarding the contents of the text presented by the Convention.”
The Comptroller’s document says that “contrary to what the title indicates, it is not a question of a comparison of articles between the current charter and the proposal, because, in what refers, in particular, to the epigraph ‘Current Constitution’, points out alleged effects of said regulations, alluding to the existence of ‘situations of abuse and monopoly'”.
In the case of Lampa, the opening was ordered due to the realization of various neighborhood meetings with an ex-conventional one. Mayor Jonathan Opazo argued that the purpose of the instance was “to keep the community informed” about the process.
“It is not possible to deduce that said publication and the consequent activity carried out by the Municipality of Lampa is related to an institutional purpose,” the Comptroller’s letter stated.
