Manuel Almazo: "¿La EDIL?... es triste pero Hacienda no nos dice ni la puntuación, ni en qué hemos fallado”

Conil de la Frontera is driving a municipal digital transformation aimed at enhancing efficiency, transparency, and social inclusion. The primary objective is to optimize public resources through the automation of services, such as the population registry and fee collection, while ensuring that vulnerable groups are not left behind by providing targeted training and sensitive, personalized support. This strategy seeks to improve the quality of life for residents and tourists, aligning administrative management with the principles of a responsible Smart City. The administration prioritizes data protection and transparency as fundamental pillars of citizen trust, strengthening participation mechanisms through digital tools and active engagement with civil society. Although improvements have been made in securing funding and internal coordination, the rejection of major European Union-funded projects has highlighted the challenges faced by small municipalities. This underscores the need for fairer allocation criteria that do not marginalize entities with fewer technical and human resources compared to large cities. This case is relevant to the open data field because it demonstrates that digitalization is not merely a technological issue but a social process that requires equitable access to information and services. Conil’s experience illustrates the tension between administrative modernization and the digital divide, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that open data and public platforms are inclusive. Furthermore, the struggle to secure structural funds highlights the urgent need for more transparent and accessible financing systems for all levels of government.
