En reglamento a Ley de Transparencia Social se advierte a las ONG y fundaciones que no pueden hacer acciones para paralizar la actividad minera legal
The new regulations prohibit social organizations from obstructing legal mining activities, effectively silencing their protests. This restriction extends to funding sources, preventing NGOs from using any donations to finance campaigns against mining projects. These measures aim to prevent corruption and money laundering but severely limit civil society’s role in oversight. Relevant to open data, this undermines transparency by restricting access to information about mining impacts. Civil society groups often rely on public data to monitor resource management and environmental risks. By banning their involvement, the state reduces independent scrutiny and accountability mechanisms. This shift prioritizes industrial interests over civic participation, potentially leading to unchecked corporate power. Without robust open data practices, citizens lose vital tools for informed engagement and advocacy. The move signals a broader trend of limiting democratic oversight in critical sectors.
