Sesiones

Última sesión16 de junio de 202678 minWatch session

En una línea: El concejo aprobó la distribución de $281 millones en fondos concursables vecinales 2026 y una modificación presupuestaria para traspasar el bono de aseo a trabajadores del sector, en medio de un tenso cruce entre el alcalde y un concejal por una condena judicial por injurias.

Temas tratados

  • Fondos concursables 2026: presentación y votación de resultados del FONDEVE, Fondo Ñuñoa Más Segura y Fondo Ñuñoa Corazón de Barrio, a cargo de Tomás Fuentes (director de DIDECO).
  • Modificación presupuestaria N°7: reconocimiento de ingreso desde SUBDERE y habilitación del gasto para el bono de aseo a trabajadores de empresas concesionarias de recolección de residuos.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Fondos concursables 2026: aprobados por mayoría, con una abstención (consejala Alejandra Valle, quien expresó dudas sobre el proceso de admisibilidad).
  • Modificación presupuestaria N°7: aprobada por unanimidad.

Plata y obras

  • Fondos concursables: $281 millones adjudicados a 110 proyectos (↑12,5% en monto y ↑12,3% en proyectos respecto a 2025). Más de 5.000 personas beneficiadas. Desglose: FONDEVE ~$91,9 millones (32 proyectos); Ñuñoa Más Segura ~$77,4 millones (32 proyectos); Corazón de Barrio ~$111,9 millones (56 proyectos).
  • Bono de aseo: $251.104.224 transferidos desde SUBDERE vía modificación presupuestaria N°7; la municipalidad los traspasará a las empresas concesionarias en un plazo máximo de 30 días para pago mensual a sus trabajadores.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • La consejala del Río y el consejal Benavides observaron que este año postularon 196 organizaciones versus ~300 en 2025, y que proyectos de organizaciones pequeñas quedaron fuera de Corazón de Barrio por criterios de alcance que favorecen a quienes postulan colectivamente o con mayor número de beneficiarios.
  • La consejala de Cubier planteó que las copropiedades quedan estructuralmente excluidas al depender del patrocinio voluntario de juntas de vecinos.
  • Un concejal cuyo nombre no queda claro en la transcripción aludió en sesión a un juicio por injurias donde fue condenado en primera instancia a 81 días de presidio. El alcalde respondió extensamente rebatiendo su interpretación del fallo y advirtiendo que podría configurar nuevas injurias.

Para seguir

  • Copropiedades: la consejala Chávez anunció trabajo conjunto con secretaría de copropiedades, gobierno regional y diputaciones para corregir los vacíos legales que las excluyen.
  • Bono de aseo: transferencia a empresas concesionarias debe completarse dentro de 30 días.
  • Se informó al cierre que Jorge Andrés Barría asume como nuevo director jurídico municipal (nombre según transcripción automática, verificar).

The PAES year is that of the admission process: the test is sat in November of the previous year. The average covers only those who registered to apply to university —not every secondary-school graduate— and groups them by the comuna of the school they graduated from, not by where the student lives. Here it rests on 3.847 students registered for the PAES.

Air quality observed at MMA's SINCA stations within the comuna (2020); when there are several, the worst is shown. The scale compares the annual average with the WHO 2021 guideline (PM2.5 = 5 · PM10 = 15 µg/m³, international health reference) and the Chilean annual primary standard (PM2.5 = 20 · PM10 = 50 µg/m³): green within the WHO guideline, amber between guideline and standard, red above the national standard. "Days above standard" use the 24-h daily standard (PM2.5 = 50 · PM10 = 150 µg/m³). RETC emissions = declared point sources (industry/energy), excludes diffuse sources like residential firewood.

Large projects approved by SEIASource: SEIA · approved projects

Projects with an environmental permit (RCA) approved by SEIA and declared investment above US$ 10 million, located in the comuna according to the case file and grouped by sector. Every sector with at least one project is listed: this is not a ranking or a selection. 61 projects totaling US$ 3.624 million, approved between 1998 and 2026. When a project spans several comunas, its investment is split among them.

Approved is not the same as built or operating: the RCA authorises the project, but some were never carried out and others have since closed.

Source: projects with an RCA approved by SEIA (investment declared by the developer, split among the comunas the project spans). Under each sector are its two largest projects by investment. It is the best public proxy for large industrial sites; SERNAGEOMIN’s registry of active mining operations (by mineral and type of operation) is a layer not yet incorporated.
