Inspector of Interests
Inspector of Interests is a digital application promoted by the Ciudadano Inteligente (lit. Smart Citizen) Foundation whose purpose is to allow citizens to monitor the development of Chilean politics. Through a cross-linking of data, the application empowers anyone to alert on personal conflicts of interest of politicians in the development of their activities as public officials. For example, the application allows the cross-examination of the economic interests of the parliamentarians with the bills that will be voted on in Congress and to identify possible conflicts of interest.
