Priorities on 21st International Access to Information Day

2023-09-28T13:10:12+02:00

Madrid, 28 September 2023 –  International Access to Information Day has gone from something founded by a small group of civil society activists from around the world in Sofia, Bulgaria on 28 September 2002, to a UN and UNESCO day, also celebrated by official bodies across the globe. Since International Access to Information Day was launched, international human rights courts and inter-governmental organisations, as well as the European Union treaties and many national constitutions have recognised a fundamental right of access to information. Challenges remain, however, and as this day – originally called Right to Know Day by those who

Malta: Access Info wins Court of Appeal ruling that all EU citizens have a right to submit information requests

2023-01-26T13:35:53+01:00

Madrid, 26 January 2023 - Malta’s Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of Access Info that the Maltese government was discriminatory and violated the rights of EU citizens when it refused to register an information request by a non-Maltese citizen. This major win for the right of access to information stems back to an August 2019 request by an Italian citizen working with Access Info, who asked for data on the return of migrants. The Maltese Ministry of Home Affairs and National Security refused to register the request stating that an “eligible person” under Malta’s 2008 Freedom of

Lobis e información clasificada, las reformas prometidas para dar luz que siguen sin llegar

2023-01-10T11:32:53+01:00

el Periódico de España | 31/12/2022 Spanish - Estaba entre los planes del Gobierno, como lo ha estado en los de muchos otros de sus antecesores, reformar la Ley de Secretos Oficiales. Pero del dicho al hecho siempre hay demasiado camino. La promesa ya aparecía en el programa electoral del PSOE de 1996, año en que el popular José María Aznar llegó a aprobar un proyecto de ley que acabó guardando en un cajón. El escándalo del espionaje de Pegasus convirtió en “impostergable”, en palabras de Pedro Sánchez, una reforma que el PNV venía pidiendo desde 2016 y que se
