Costa Ricans do not trust their legislators
Legislators in Costa Rica face declining public trust, primarily because citizens misunderstand their deliberative role. This gap in perception highlights a critical need for greater transparency in how laws are made, directly impacting open data initiatives that aim to clarify government functions for the public. Critics argue that constant political attacks further erode credibility, creating a hostile environment for institutional work. Addressing this requires open access to legislative processes and communications, allowing citizens to verify activities independently and reducing reliance on potentially biased media narratives. Ultimately, improving trust depends on demonstrating service through accessible information. Open data serves as a vital tool for bridging the understanding gap, enabling citizens to engage with legislative realities rather than expectations, thereby fostering a more informed and trusting democratic society.
