Corrupción y crisis del Congreso: Leturia pide cortar los incentivos que alimentan el sistema

Francisco Leturia warns that the deterioration of Congress and the political system's inability to solve problems are creating fertile ground for a populist outcome in Chile. The constitutional lawyer and former president of the Council for Transparency analyzes the criticisms leveled against the Comptroller General's Office and argues that politically confronting the institution is a legal and strategic error. He also addresses the investigations that have impacted Congress, the resources managed by members of parliament, the funding of foundations, and the limitations of current oversight mechanisms. For Leturia, the problem runs deeper than individual cases: there are incentives that encourage the perpetuation of bad practices and a political system that shows no capacity for self-correction. His diagnosis points to a crisis of confidence that no longer only affects certain authorities, but also the legitimacy of democracy and its ability to provide answers.
