This, within the framework of the process that it faces for an alleged diversion of US$ 1 million of the emergency resources that the government received by the Sanitary Emergency Law.
“There are no payments for ghost works, nor false invoicing or double invoicing. Everything is documented, let’s not make this something media. I am not prohibited from approaching the governorship, I continue to work there and I will do so until the last day I am governor”, Hugo Javier.
LARROZA
Derlis Larroza, a liberal councilor from Central, affirmed that he sees the process that González is going through with great concern.
“This administration has squandered funds. We gave enough evidence to the Public Ministry. So we see that this issue progresses very slowly. The governor is a year and a half away from finishing his administration,” he warned.
He lamented that the funds received by the government, this and next year, will be administered in a fraudulent way again.
“He is with the peace of mind that he enjoys with a political shield. Schools do not even finish their works. The works were half finished, “he criticized.
Finally, he questioned that, through Chicanas, Hugo Javier is delaying the process.
INTERVENTION
In mid-December, with 42 votes against, 31 votes in favor and seven absent, the Chamber of Deputies rejected the request for intervention by the Government of the Central Department, administered by Hugo Javier González.
The argument of the block of Colorado legislators that protected González was that after the on-site verification, they verified that the works carried out with the emergency resources do exist. Considering that one of the arguments was precisely that they were “ghost” works.
With this, the possibility of an external auditor managing the government for three months and investigating, at the same time, if the existing documentation coincides with the executed works, was left without effect.
CONTEXT
In November, Rodrigo Estigarribia, prosecutor of the Specialized Unit for Economic Crimes of the Prosecutor’s Office, charged González and 14 other people with the alleged embezzlement of G. 5,105 million that the government should allocate to mitigate the pandemic.
However, in December, he was “armored” in the Chamber of Deputies when his request for interpellation was analyzed.
