Between 2024 and 2026, the Chilean Chamber of Deputies allocated $2.4 billion (Chilean pesos) in severance payments to 489 legislative advisors. Following these payouts, a significant number of these same advisors were subsequently re-employed by the Chamber. The payments, intended as indemnities, raise questions about the efficiency of public spending and potential loopholes in employment practices within the legislature. CIPER Chile first reported the findings, highlighting the cyclical nature of these separations and re-hirings. Details regarding the specific reasons for the initial separations and the terms of re-employment remain unclear. This practice has prompted scrutiny regarding transparency and accountability in the use of public funds. The Chamber has not yet issued a public response to the report.
