THE MOTIVATION: WHY HABLA!?


OPEN GOVERNMENT: THE BASIC PILLARS


It is available to the citizens information and data about the activity, actions,

decisions, plans and intentions of the Government.

The actions, laws, decrees or measures taken by the administration are

discussed, evaluated and completed with the opinions of citizens. But the

citizens also raises its own proposals, ideas, queries or complaints to be

discussed and analyzed.

The public agency collaborates with citizens, associations, businesses and

other administrations, providing innovative tools and new methods of

collaborative work. They listen and work together to build a more connected

society approaching the decisions of the Administration to the needs of

citizens.
