So, I came across this crazy article about the ex-director of Migrations under Piñera. Apparently, he made a multi-million dollar payment to the OECD that was deemed illegal by the Chilean Comptroller’s Office. Talk about a major faux-pas.
Basically, this guy promised to pay the OECD around five million dollars in exchange for their help with designing a new immigration policy for Chile. However, he didn’t follow proper protocol and his actions were considered illegal. Yikes.
What’s even weirder is that the ex-director tried to justify his actions by saying the payment was made in “good faith” and “in defense of national interest”. Um, sorry dude, but making unauthorized payments doesn’t really fly as “good faith”.
The article also sheds light on the larger issue of corruption in Chilean politics. It’s disappointing to see public officials putting their own interests ahead of their constituents. As a Chilean myself, it really hits close to home. It’s crucial for citizens to hold these officials accountable and demand transparency in government operations.
Overall, this article serves as a reminder that corruption is a real issue that affects us all. We need to stay informed and demand accountability from those in power.
