En lo que va de 2023 ha habido 25 restricciones de acceso a la información, según IPYS
IPYS Venezuela highlights a troubling trend toward official secrecy, documenting significant restrictions that hinder public access to essential data. This systematic opacity obstructs journalistic efforts and undermines the fundamental right to information, creating an environment where transparency is actively suppressed by state actors. The widespread non-disclosure of figures and the refusal of officials to engage directly impact media freedom and workers. These barriers prevent the public from obtaining necessary government data, reinforcing a culture of opacity that discourages accountability and limits the flow of crucial societal information. This situation is critical for open data advocates because it demonstrates how legal and administrative barriers can effectively nullify transparency rights. It emphasizes the urgent need to defend information access as a basic human right, ensuring that data remains available for public scrutiny and informed democratic participation.
