HOY Paraguay Questioned Kattya González Over Old Senate Contracts Without a Competitive Process
The outlet linked the senator’s current criticism of congressional hiring to her background as a legislative adviser. It also mentioned a stint at Customs cited by earlier reports.
The newspaper HOY Paraguay published a critique of Senator Kattya González based on her recent objections to the hiring of politicians’ children in the Legislative Branch.
According to that outlet, González joined the Chamber of Senators as an adviser without having gone through a competitive process. HOY Paraguay noted that on April 12, 2004, she was hired for three months as an adviser attached to the Senate Presidency, then headed by Carlos Mateo Balmelli, with a monthly salary of G. 2 million.
Also according to the publication, on January 19, 2005, she was hired again for six months to continue as an adviser to the Presidency of the Upper House, in that case during Miguel Carrizosa’s tenure, with a monthly remuneration of G. 2,500,000.
HOY Paraguay added that González, whom it identified as the daughter of politician Marcial González Safstrand, did not need to join the Colorado Party to access that post. It also mentioned as another precedent a contract as legal adviser at Customs, based on earlier press reports.
