So how the fuck did that happen? I'd have to do some research, but for the moment, beats me...

per the video interview, it was a surprise, and per the article and ceremony video, there were no keys

Los motivos del municipio para no entregarle las llaves de la ciudad
En es eentonces, el comunicado de la Municipalidad de Viña del Mar explicó que la solicitud de que se le entregara un reconocimiento a Tom Araya provino de la Oficina de la Juventud. Esta, conocedora de su trayectoria, «le quiso saludar en su ciudad natal, «destacando con ello sus talentos y méritos musicales», agregando además que la entrega de este premio «se basa en las consideraciones de la Unidad Municipal que la solicita, y no ha sido costumbre, ni tampoco se requiere, que su otorgamiento se presente al concejo municipal»,. Esto es diferente a lo que sucede cuando alguien es nombrado Hijo Ilustre."

(esa mala ortografía no es mía)
so yeah it was the "youth office" that wanted to recognize him and that was all, no keys, no city council resolution, and it was all a surprise to him.
he did joke (at least twice, and laughed at his own joke by himself when it didn't land, lol, the idiot) that if they gave him the keys they might want to change the locks. but yeah, no keys, none.
