The aim of this series is to bring citizens closer to the workings of local administration and the tools available to them to understand municipal activities. This new installment explains what a public information access request (SAIP) is and what type of information can be requested from the council.
Practical examples are detailed, such as finding out the cost of a project, consulting data on pruning incidents in a neighborhood, or accessing information about the municipal budget and expenses. The video reminds viewers that it is not necessary to justify the reason for the request, but rather to clearly identify the information sought.
Furthermore, the episode addresses the obligation to respond to requests and to provide reasons for decisions that deny or limit access, as well as the protection of personal data and other interests that may affect the provision of information.
