Councilors Jorge Martínez (UDI), Antonia Scarella (IND-UDI) and René Lues (DC) denounced the mayor of Viña del Mar, Macarena Ripamonti.
As detailed The Mercury of Valparaiso, the councilors accuse that the head of the municipality had 150 of his photographs framed, which were installed in various administrative offices. Incidentally, they charged an expense of $ 2,465,085.
Therefore, the board members pointed to an “ethically unnecessary” measure and a “serious lack of administrative correctness”.
Before the Prosecutor’s Office they denounced “a repeated use of the image of the mayor, without the purpose of informing users on how to access the benefits that the municipality grants”.
The mayor replied
In the dialogue with the aforementioned media, Mayor Ripamonti explained that everything is part of the “protocol of the policies that have always been made in the municipality, that we do not consider them a problem, but if there is, we will obey what the Controller says”. “.
Likewise, he made it clear that they find it “wonderful and we love that there is control, because we believe it is part of democracy … every use of public money and all public order enforcement that is made must be checked and reviewed. “.
