Controls on freedom of expression of officials of Health and Education:

Controversy was caused by letter No. 101/1177/2009 issued by the city of Chillán in late 2009, which was called a "Gag Rule". The document stipulates that the statements to, or interviews by, the workers health or the municipal education union to the media must be approved by the mayor or the city manager.

This order was rejected by the Chillán Teachers College, the Municipal Officials Association of Primary Care (which filed a protection from the Court of Appeals against the order municipal) council members and opponents. While mayor accused his opponents of attempting to politicize an ordinance aimed at regulating internal communications.^[2][3]
