Councilors ask CGR to investigate hiring of former deputy Mix in Calle Larga, with payments up to $3.9 million

Local councilors in Calle Larga, Chile, have formally requested the Comptroller General of the Republic (CGR) to investigate the hiring of former deputy Alejandra Mix. The councilors allege a potential "improper use of public funds" within the municipality.

Reports indicate that Mix receives a salary of up to $3.9 million Chilean pesos (approximately $4,000 USD) for her role. While her position is described as providing advisory and technical support, the councilors are scrutinizing the necessity and legality of such a high payment, especially given the current economic climate.

The councilors aim to clarify the exact nature of Mix's responsibilities and ensure her employment aligns with public administration regulations. Their request targets the administration led by Mayor Dina González (PS), under whom Mix has reportedly worked. The investigation seeks transparency and accountability in municipal hiring practices.
