A city employee’s decision to work remotely from the Caribbean has sparked controversy and prompted questions from opposition council members. The employee reportedly received a special exemption to perform their municipal duties while abroad. Opposition groups are demanding clarification regarding the approval process for this arrangement, questioning its fairness and potential impact on local workers. The mayor has defended the decision, stating it was based on a private need and that all procedures were followed correctly. Details regarding the employee’s role and the nature of the “private need” remain limited. The situation has ignited a debate about the boundaries of remote work policies within the municipality and the transparency of decision-making processes. Further investigation is expected to determine if regulations were appropriately applied.
