Adrián González critica proyecto aprobado por el Senado con enmiendas a la Ley de Transparencia

Senator Adrián González argues that recent amendments to Puerto Rico’s transparency law impose bureaucratic hurdles that restrict citizens' access to public information. By extending response times and requiring personal data, the changes risk enabling political discrimination and arbitrary denials. This legislation is critically relevant to open data advocates because it threatens the fundamental principles of transparency and accountability. The measures undermine public trust and hinder the ability of journalists and citizens to obtain essential government documents, effectively reversing progress in open governance. The controversy highlights the ongoing tension between governmental opacity and civic rights, as evidenced by frequent lawsuits needed to access records. Protecting open data frameworks is essential to prevent the erosion of democratic oversight and ensure that public information remains accessible without fear of reprisal.
