Press and radio associations call for the effective obligation to publicize municipal resolutions

Press and radio associations urge parliamentary groups to approve a proposal mandating local authorities to publish their decisions in regional and local media. This call is made in a joint statement by several associations, emphasizing the need for transparency in local governance. They highlight that a previous legal obligation to publish decisions has not been enforced for 13 years. Although a recent law aimed to make this obligation feasible, it lacks consequences for non-compliance. The associations argue that the proposed legislation would ensure that local authorities are held accountable for publishing their decisions, which is crucial for citizen awareness and supports local media sustainability. They request the approval of proposal 2230C to ensure effective implementation of this obligation.
