Caso Steinert reabre el debate sobre la Contraloría: ¿hay que limitar sus atribuciones?

Following the release of the Comptroller General's ruling that former Security Minister Trinidad Steinert exceeded her authority by requesting information from an ongoing criminal investigation, voices from both the ruling coalition and the opposition reignited the debate about the functioning of the agency headed by Dorothy Pérez. While some propose reviewing its structure and powers, others warn that institutions cannot be questioned only when their decisions are inconvenient for a particular political sector. Should the role of the Comptroller's Office be modified? Where are the boundaries between oversight of public administration and political decisions? This was one of the topics discussed at the #NewVoices Panel on Friday, July 10, featuring Paula Castillo, head of research at the think tank Rumbo Colectivo, and Macarena Cox, partner at the public affairs and strategic communications consultancy Polca. 📻 Listen to Radio Usach on 94.5 FM and at www.diariousach.cl, and connect to Radio Usach TV on channel 50.2 of the Open Digital Television.
