A former Director of Labor Inspection has accused Alexander Astorga, current chief of staff for President Laura Fernández, of an alleged irregular appointment. The accusation stems from actions taken while both individuals worked within the Ministry of Labor during the Chaves administration. The former director alleges Astorga was responsible for the questionable hiring practice. Details of the alleged irregularity haven’t been released, but the accusation introduces a potential scandal for the current presidential administration. This claim raises questions about transparency and appointment procedures within the government. The situation is developing and further investigation may be required to determine the validity of the claims. Fernández's office has not yet commented on the accusations.
