Minister Delgado ruled out irregularities in his management as mayor after resolution of the Comptroller’s Office

During this day a resolution of the Comptroller’s Office was known, where it was determined that the current Minister of the Interior, Rodrigo Delgado, would have “administrative responsibility” for the irregularities that occurred in 2016 in the Municipality of Central Station when he was mayor. Specifically, the oversight body indicated that the former communal chief played a role in authorizing the travel of two councilors to Europe to attend alleged trainings, as well as authorizing via “direct treatment” at election time the creation of municipal advertising with his name and face. It was Delgado himself who alluded to the resolution during this day, replying on Channel 13 that “here it is not questioned at any time that the products or services that were contracted have not arrived, nor that there is an overprice, nor that others have been paid, nor any ideologically false ballot.” Even so, he indicated that “of course one makes a mea culpa, if in three municipal periods mistakes can be made.” However, he insisted on his point and asked about the facts, he said that “direct treatment is allowed, what happens is that it must be justified well and the Control said that ‘justification does not satisfy us’.” Both the issue of publicity, and the trip of the councilors was corrected in the previous reports, it is not the product of the final summary to make it very clear, “he added.
