[Video] Vallejo acusó que fallido proyecto de Piñera "gastó 150 veces más" que el plan piloto del gas

Vallejo, a Chilean opposition lawmaker, has accused former President Piñera’s failed gas project of having cost 150 times more than the pilot plan for the same. This news caught my attention because it reveals the financial wastage that occurs in government projects. In a video posted on Twitter, Vallejo criticized Piñera’s administration for wasting public funds on a gas project that failed to deliver the desired outcomes. She said that the pilot project had cost around $14,000, while the full-fledged project aimed at providing gas to households across Chile had cost $2.1 million. The project had not only failed to benefit the common people but had also resulted in an increase in gas prices. This issue is not unique to this country and sometimes occurs in other economies, which weakens public trust in government institutions and leads to socioeconomic issues. Therefore, it is important to hold public officials accountable for their actions and ensure transparency in government expenditures.
