Original article: \u00abLos municipios no hemos recibido ninguna comunicaci\u00f3n\u00bb: Alcaldes a\u00fan no saben c\u00f3mo se entregar\u00e1 el \u00abbeneficio\u00bb del gas anunciado por Kast<\/a><\/p>\n\n

There is confusion and considerable frustration among various municipalities across the country regarding the lack of communication from the government about how the \u00abbenefit\u00bb of liquefied gas announced by President Jos\u00e9 Antonio Kast will be delivered.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note that the President stated that, as part of initiatives to assist citizens facing rising fuel costs, 15 kg gas cylinders would be distributed through municipalities to families belonging to the 80% most vulnerable segment of the Social Household Registry (RSH).<\/p>\n

However, many mayors have reported that they have not received any official communication from the government on this matter.<\/p>\n

For instance, in statements to channel Mega, San Ram\u00f3n\u2019s mayor, Gustavo Toro (DC), remarked, \u00abOfficially, municipalities have not received any communication. Only what you know through the media.\u00bb <\/p>\n

In the same interview, the local leader mentioned that the mayor of Paine, Rodrigo Contreras (UDI), \u00abwas present at the meeting with the President, but officially, we municipalities have not received any official document or communication regarding how this would be implemented.\u00bb <\/p>\n

\u00abThis is concerning because many residents are already anxious. Today, I was informed by the Social Area of the Municipality that some residents have even come to demand their vouchers because the President announced it,\u00bb asserted Mayor Gustavo Toro.<\/p>\n

Likewise, Karina Delfino (PS), the mayor of Quinta Normal, stated that she has \u00abno idea\u00bb how the \u00abbenefit\u00bb will be delivered, explaining that during a meeting with the Subdere, the undersecretary \u00abwas also unclear about it.\u00bb <\/p>\n

*Among the measures announced to help mitigate the impacts of the so-called \u00abgasoline hike\u00bb is the delivery of liquefied gas; however, so far, the Kast administration has failed to explain how this benefit will be granted to citizens: https:\/\/t.co\/vVBTjQfsyP<\/a><\/p>\n
