Un decreto no puede limitar el acceso a la información pública - Diario Río Negro
This article warns that Executive Decree 780/24 dangerously restricts public access to information, contradicting national law. It creates arbitrary discretion for officials to classify documents as private, undermining transparency and human rights standards. Such regression fosters a culture of secrecy and corruption by prioritizing political interests over the fundamental right to know. The decree effectively shrinks the definition of public interest, protecting authorities at the expense of citizens’ rights. This case is crucial for open data because it highlights the risk of administrative overreach eroding data freedom. Ensuring robust, legal safeguards against arbitrary restrictions is essential for maintaining accountable and transparent public information ecosystems.
