seems that finally confirmed the rumors and this Friday will approve the long-awaited draft law Transparency and Citizen Access to Public Information (see news ). Certainly it is a standard necessity given as obscurantist culture that has traditionally inspired administrative practice in this area. However, without prejudice to me seems necessary, and consider the positive silence as an important, why can not fail to recall that precisely this setting has traditionally existed in the local area and, unfortunately for our democratic system has worked little or nothing ... when several years after a court ruling gave the reason the appellant and required that the Administration provide information. "
Unfortunately, we still have no access to the draft text, which appears to have been promptly leaked to the media in paradoxical example of access to information, not by the citizens (who are denying us access to both document and therefore, participation in the process of development of the standard) but for the media: I am convinced that such approaches are what should be changed beyond the necessary policy reforms, particularly taking into account the enormous potential Formenta technology offers effective participation. Why not set a mandatory one processing public information by electronic means, when rules are made that affect the legal status of citizens?
In short, do incorporate the proposed reform of the Penal Code criminalizing the conduct of public authority, being obliged to, refuse to hand over information even in cases of positive silence? Yes it did start to believe that the English government will be more transparent ... and therefore more democratic.
