INAI pide al Banco del Bienestar entregue facturas
The INAI ordered Banco del Bienestar to disclose agreements, invoices, and proof of delivery regarding medical supplies sent to Cuba during the pandemic. This ruling establishes that citizens demanding transparency deserve full access to information, as it opens pathways to other fundamental rights and legitimizes government decisions in critical health matters. The case highlights the importance of institutional accountability when agencies initially claim incompetence or deny the existence of requested documents. By revoking the bank’s response, the commission emphasized that internal structures must be thoroughly searched to ensure no relevant data is withheld, reinforcing the principle that openness prevents opacity in public spending. This decision is highly relevant to open data because it treats transparency as a foundational "key right." It demonstrates that robust open data practices are essential for building public trust. When authorities proactively share granular details about contracts and resource allocation, they empower society to verify that public funds are used effectively and ethically for health initiatives.
