Transparency in accessing public information is a fundamental right of citizens. The article argues that public information belongs to citizens and that any barrier imposed to its access represents a bureaucratic problem.
Municipalities, regulatory bodies and concessionaires are mentioned as examples of institutions that frequently make access to public documents difficult. When access to information depends on the insistence of the citizens themselves, it means there is a failure in the system.
The article warns that this situation weakens trust in democracy. The difficulty in accessing public information creates a disconnection between citizens and public administration, compromising accountability and democratic participation.
