FNX Magokiler Posted November 28, 2023 Posted November 28, 2023 At the beginning of November, Comptroller Jorge Bermúdez presented to the Congressional Investigative Commission the observations made to 15 Housing and Urban Planning seremis in different regions, within the framework of the Agreements case. Currently all of them are being investigated, but they are not the only public organizations that are under scrutiny. The Living Democracy case also shed light on irregularities in the transfers of resources by Regional Governments (Gores) to foundations. Among them, one of the most striking is that of the Maule Regional Government, led by the Christian Democrat Cristina Bravo. The Comptroller's Office made public the audit carried out, on November 9, on the agreements carried out by the Maule Regional Government with four foundations: Fundación Tejido Social (from 2021, for almost 17 million), Fundación Urbanismo Social (from 2022, for 264 million), Fundación Semilla (from the same year, for 271 million) and Fundación Participa (from March of this year, for 379 million). This is one of all reviews that the supervisory body is carrying out at the national level and of which they will continue to publish results. The Comptroller's Office detected irregularities of different magnitudes in the four agreements made, which together add up to a value of $932,833,626. However. It is worth noting that Gore has already backed down on some projects, such as – for example – “Together we feel safer” of Social Urbanism, which was a controversial case already made known by the press and which, in The details of this report are also described. The report first shows, in general terms, the “Aspects of Internal Control” of Gore and there it outlines the first observations regarding the agreements signed. Firstly, it warns that there are “general internal control weaknesses”. Among them, it specifically points out that "there is no direct relationship between the objectives of the foundations according to their statutes and the typology of the investment program formulated and assigned to them." Another observation indicates that it was confirmed that the assets of the foundations to which resources were given were not “weighted or considered in order to properly safeguard the fiscal assets” and, also, it was identified that “the application forms did not count with all the necessary information to prove compliance with the background requirements required for your application.” Specifically, it refers to the “lack of experience of the initiatives, start of activities close to the conclusion of the agreements” and “absence of identification of the beneficiaries.” https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/11/28/el-detalle-del-informe-de-contraloria-que-complica-a-la-gore-del-maule-cristina-bravo-dc/
