Claudia Adasme, the mayor of Papudo, has voiced criticism towards the mayors of Puente Alto and Tierra Amarilla for disrupting President Gabriel Boric's address at the National Meeting of Mayors in La Serena.

The vast majority of the mayors, who were more than 200, listened to the president with great respect.

Adasme stated that the "vast majority" of the over 200 mayors present listened respectfully to the president. She attributed the interruptions to "two specific mayors," whom she identified as Matías Toledo and Cristóbal Zúñiga. "The authority of the president of the Republic must be respected," she asserted, questioning their conduct during the presidential speech.

Despite the disruptions, Adasme highlighted that the meeting achieved significant transversal agreements. One key topic was the potential impact of changes to property tax contributions for seniors over 65. Adasme supports exempting those who cannot afford the payments but opposes a universal exemption, arguing that those who can pay should do so. She also addressed the implementation of the Municipal Security Law, emphasizing that municipalities cannot assume new obligations without adequate funding, stating, "Laws cannot continue to be passed without resources for municipalities."
