According to the Comptroller’s Office, the municipality must return little more than $ 10 million for the purchase of air tickets for young people, proxies and some officials; together with $ 4.6 million in travel expenses paid to some workers at fees that did not include work abroad in their contracts.

In this regard, Barriga again occupied Instagram to express your point of view. There she criticized the media who said she went to see ballet, since she was accompanying the young people who mounted the play.

“What is unfortunate (…) is that the Comptroller’s Office is in some way observing this purchase of tickets, which were $ 10 million in tickets and the other amount of money was for the per diem and accommodation of the officials who were (…) Incredible encounter to make an observation of this kind, if there is something we need to change in Constitution It is the role that the Comptroller’s Office has today. This is in Articles 98, 99 and 100 ″, he said.

Along with this, he pointed out that the entity “is not watching over what it has to watch out for” and added “what happens for the mayors who travel around the world, with many people, with trout travel agencies ”.

“I know that changes must be made and one of the changes that must be made in the Constitution is the role of the Comptroller’s Office. You have to do it, because unfortunately it seems that Comptroller’s Office is not dedicated to seeking corruption which occurs in the municipalities, because corruption is present in all the municipalities of this country. And because? Because it seems that the Comptroller’s Office is busy with political issues more than it has to do, ”she said.

Finally, he called for more attention to cases such as the Municipality of Valparaíso, where the Comptroller started a lawsuit to recover $ 931 million.
