In a critical tone, the PRO legislators pointed out that “this law is fundamental for the citizens, since guarantees an essential right in any democracy: free and unrestricted access to public information. This right not only promotes transparency and accountability, but also gives citizens greater control and oversight over the actions of the State.”

They added: “Changing this rule through regulations without the necessary consensus represents a step backwards in terms of transparency and public control, which are essential elements for the proper functioning of our democracy.”
