The other complaint that sharpens the crisis of the PDG: they accuse that former President Moreno opened accounts of the party with a false power

The former vice president of the Partido de la Gente (PDG), Jorge Passadore, has filed a criminal complaint against former party leader Luis Moreno, accusing him of forging signatures and using false documents to open and manage accounts for the political group under the guise of authority. The legal action alleges crimes including forgery, fraudulent use of private instruments, identity impersonation, and improper administration of state benefits. This comes amid ongoing tensions within the PDG, with reports suggesting the National Service of Legal Affairs (Servel) plans to file a formal accusation against the party over alleged unauthorized expenditures during Moreno’s tenure. Moreno served as president of the PDG for two years since its founding in 2021. According to the complaint, which was declared admissible by the Seventh Judicial Court of Guarantee on July 25, Moreno allegedly manipulated a document from a meeting of the PDG's Central Board held August 27, 2021, in the city of Coronel, in the Biobío Region. During this meeting, it was reportedly decided that Claudia Arias, the party’s treasurer, along with Luis Peña, secretary general; Rafael Huenchuñir, national treasurer, and Moreno himself, would serve as bank representatives for the organization. Passadore claims that the forged document allowed Moreno and others to administer financial and administrative tools of the PDG, leading to the irregular management of public funds allocated by the Servel. The complaint states that Moreno submitted the document to a notary to formalize it and requested its reduction to a public deed. With this document processed, Moreno was able to open and sign contracts for at least three current accounts for the PDG at Banco Estado. According to the complaint, Passadore only became aware of the forgery nearly four years later. In 2024, former PDG deputy Karen Medina filed a separate criminal complaint against Moreno, which remains unresolved. It was during this process that the Police Investigations Department (PDI) interviewed Passadore on August 4, 2025, revealing his discovery that a purported electronic signature of his had been used in the document. In his statement to the PDI, Passadore denied participating in the meeting as a member of the board. He stated that he did not attend the session in his capacity as vice president of the PDG and that he neither authorized nor signed the document through advanced electronic signature. He emphasized that he had never possessed such a signature at the time. Yovana Ahumada, another former PDG deputy, also expressed doubts about the authenticity of the meeting. She told the PDI that she did not attend the session in Coronel and that her electronic signature could not have been valid for the document. Her testimony aligns with Passadore’s, casting further doubt on the legitimacy of the proceedings that led to the creation of the bank accounts. The situation highlights growing internal discord within the PDG, particularly around the handling of financial resources during Moreno’s leadership. The Servel’s potential involvement adds another layer of scrutiny, as it suggests broader concerns about transparency and accountability within the party. As the legal processes unfold, the PDG faces mounting pressure to clarify its financial practices and address allegations of misconduct.
