Controversies
Despite González was never elected to a political office, he has been involved in several political controversies inside the municipalidad of Pichilemu.

On March 29, 2007, González recorded a conversation, in which then-councillors of Pichilemu Víctor Rojas González (at the time of his arrest, mayor) and Hernán Garrido Salas asked for a bribe of over a million pesos (2,000USD) from the city's parking meter system, which was concessioned by González's wife. It was also pointed out in the recording that then-mayor of the city Jorge Vargas González was "commanding the plan." On September 13 of that year, five workers for the Pichilemu city hall were arrested by the Public Prosecutor of Pichilemu, on charges of bribery, fraud, and conspiracy: mayor Víctor Rojas González; former mayor Jorge Vargas González; DIDECO's chief Gerardo Rubio; councillor Hernán Garrido Salas; and Municipal Administrator Francisco Vidal. During the two years following the events generated by González's denouncement, the mayor office of Pichilemu would be occupied by eighteen different politicians. "Small town, great hell," as Pichilemu has been called, Miguel González told El Mercurio in May 2008 that "[e]very time [somebody] embarks on a project, it seems that it is understood that to apply you have to come with your wallet."



In late October 2010, Miguel Gonzalez together with the architect Francisco Jaramillo, made ​​complaints before the Public Prosecutor Office of Pichilemu and the Intendancy of the Region of O'Higgins against "whoever results responsible" of the illegal opening of Petrel Lake, on 19 October 2010 using heavy machinery.

According to Pichilemu News, these actions "caused the emptying of the lagoon to the sea, and with it the migration of the black-necked swans that inhabited it to the Seventh Region [ Maule Region ] [...] These actions typically occur in the Independent Republic of Pichilemu."
