The rumor, which began in 2014, was denied thanks to a ruling from the Comptroller's Office of the Republic, which established that Reinaldo Vallejo did not sign any contract with La Moneda. By Maximiliano Echegoyen The political parties have already announced the names of their candidates for mayors for the municipal elections in October, and one candidate has called the attention for being a relative of a minister: it is Reinaldo Vallejo (PC), father of Camila Vallejo, who will compete to head the Municipality from Algarrobo. In this context, it circulates on TikTok that Vallejo Sr. won a while ago behind a tender for 300 million pesos. Specifically, the publication derives from a tweet published in March 2022 that says: "you were very young, but Camila Vallejo's actor father won the $300 bid million to install air conditioning in La Moneda. The post accumulates more of 3 thousand retweets and is also spread on Facebook (1.2). However, the viral content is false.

The results released press articles dating back to June 2014 (here and here), in where the then representative Camila Vallejo denied that her father had won a tender of 300 million pesos. As reported by The Clinic, the account "@DerechaTuitera" started the rumor on June 8, 2014 after tweeting: «In Valparaíso they do get cold…. not like in La Moneda where they pay 300 sticks to @camila_vallejo's daddy so that "I fixed the heating (sic)." > In Valparaiso they do get cold…. not like in the currency that pays 300 sticks per > @camila_vallejo's daddy so I can fix their heating. > > — 🇨🇱DerechaTuitera 🇨🇱 (@DerechaTuitera) June 8, 2014 Given the accusations, Deputy Vallejo also used her 'X' account —which was previously called Twitter— to reply. "What idleness! Now they invent "that my father won the La Moneda tender," tweeted the current Minister Segegob. > What idleness! Now they invent that my father won the Currency tender. > Obsessed with damaging my image and that of my family. Let the dogs bark... > > — Camila Vallejo Dowling (@camila_vallejo) June 8, 2014 But the defamations did not stop, so in April 2015 Vallejo revealed that he officiated with the Comptroller of the Republic to "establish responsibilities administrative duties" in the event that his father, Reinaldo Vallejo, has been awarded a tender to repair the heating of the Palacio de La Moneda for 300 millions of pesos. > #HeWhoNothingDoesNothingTemeLike #NoAllSomosLikeThem this is the job for > shut up the liars. pic.twitter.com/8au0MrgzCb > > — Camila Vallejo Dowling (@camila_vallejo) April 1, 2015 ## Comptroller denies the rumor Although the then parliamentarian announced the official letter in April, the truth is is that the Chamber of Deputies sent the document on March 19, 2015 to the controlling entity. In the official letter, Deputy Vallejo points out that as a result of this defamation began to be "accused of nepotism and practices that contravene the correct performance of the public function due to lack of probity. Then, Fast Check entered the search engine on the Comptroller's Office website. the Republic the name "Reinaldo Vallejo Navarro."

Four public tenders made during that period, but none of them corresponded to Reinaldo Vallejo or any of his companies. In fact, the opinion indicates that Reinaldo Vallejo or any company to which is a partner "they were not awarded or applied for any of the acquisition of works, goods and services" related to heating the Palacio, "nor is his participation in them evident as natural person". Finally, the Comptroller's Office concluded that "between October 2013 and April 2015 the mentioned Mr. Vallejo Navarro has not signed contracts that say relation to the heating of the Palacio de La Moneda. ### Nor has he signed contracts since In addition, Fast Check investigated the Public Market to find out if Reinaldo Vallejo or any of its companies mentioned in the opinion —“Awa Ingeniería Limitada” and “Agua y Climatización Valldow Limitada”—have awarded some tenders related to repairing La Moneda's air conditioning. No results were found of any awarded tender that is associated to Reinaldo Vallejo. > Camila Vallejo's father will be the Communist Party candidate for mayor > from Algarrobo ## Conclusion Fast Check rates viral content as fake.
