Government spokesperson Mara Sedini declined to provide specific details regarding a dinner hosted by President Kast in the halls of La Moneda. During her recent press appearance, the official gave evasive answers to media inquiries concerning the gathering with his former colleagues.
Sedini clarified that the President personally funded the event. However, the spokesperson withheld further information regarding the guest list or the proceedings of the meeting.
The social gathering has become the subject of a formal complaint filed with the Comptroller General of the Republic. Legislators Daniel Manouchehri and Daniella Cicardini are leading the legal challenge, which questions the propriety of hosting such an event at the presidential palace.
Investigation into use of government facilities
The lawmakers' complaint seeks to determine whether using the La Moneda halls for a private gathering complies with institutional regulations. The action led by Manouchehri and Cicardini focuses on the use of state infrastructure for purposes that fall outside the scope of official public administration.
The spokesperson maintained a cautious stance during the press conference. When asked about the dinner's agenda, Sedini declined to elaborate, limiting her comments strictly to the matter of its funding.
No further details regarding the nature of the meeting have been released so far. The Comptroller General must now review the evidence presented by the opposition to determine if any irregularities occurred in the use of the government headquarters.
