THE RIGHT TO KNOW

For its part, the Councillor for the Office of Transparency, José María Soler, presented the Municipal Transparency Portal that includes much of the contents of Cartagena.es, but structured according to the Transparency Act, access to public information and good governance, and should be operational by 10 December. According to Soler the portal aims to become the source of public information about the city. In this sense, the councilor pointed out that the City is adhered Network for Local Authorities Transparency of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces and have it ratified, in turn, both the Code of Good Government of the Federation, as the Decalogue of Good Practices in Public Communication Local.Según Soler, the Transparency Portal is part of open government strategy that includes transparency, citizen participation and Open Data.

A strategy that aims to give citizens of Cartagena in the center of the city life and let them partners in the management of the City Council, facilitating their access to public information and citizen participation.

This portal collects in a structured and easily all public information that is of interest, since who make up the city government municipal budgets or statistics major form of municipal services.

All this, from the belief that information should be accessible to all and that it is our obligation to make public domain information that was previously only reserved for a few people or municipal services, he explained the councilor.

We account for our municipal management and for that, what better way to let it be the citizen who comes into the house of all and knows how it is organized, how their taxes are spent, what municipal plans and programs they are how you can participate in the development policies of the city and what the figures and statistics in the main areas of interest are, added Soler.

CÃ "MO SE Structure Transparency Portal Transparency Portal Ell is divided into six basic areas: Government of the Ciudad¿, ¿the City Council and Normativa¿ Organization, ¿claras¿ all, how Sostenible¿ City, ¿Participation and Ciudadana¿ Cartagena in figures ¿¿.In paragraph of ¿Government of the Ciudad¿, citizens can access information more institutional, both of the various organs of government, as the neighborhood councils. Until now, it was the citizen difficult or almost impossible to know what the agenda of the Mayor, which powers wielded elected officials, what was your district councilor and, indeed, access to the register of interests, activities and assets or the Registry of incompatibilities with the limit the rules on data protection section of ¿impone.En Hall and Regulatory Organization Is information collected on the REA requires HR, understanding that the organization of City staff is not only information to be accessible to the public employee through municipal Intranet, as has been happening so far, but, as stated in the Transparency Act, it must be accessible to all.

Also included in this section, municipal bodies and companies in which, under the Act, the municipal share is over 50 percent.

Municipal programs are included, also facilitating access to this information so far was quite scattered.

Finally, relevant legal information at the municipal level.

In the section of ¿Claras AUDITORS, large amount of information the disclosure of which was being demanded by various sectoral policies and in which the Transparency Law also enters concentrated.

It especially affects the economic area because he has the right to know how their money is managed, to know the actual amount of income and expenses.

Therefore, it has gathered so much information about municipal contracts made through open and negotiated procedures as the hitherto forgotten ones, smaller contracts and municipal property relationship is included.

Effort has been made not only to make information but because the citizens can find information.

That is, to do so in a clear, structured and understandable, incorporating graphics and search engine web.En paragraph Sustainable City of ¿¿, useful information, both graphically and in referring to planning include: Planning, Infrastructure and Sustainable Development;

in which the environmental information that worries us so much todos.En paragraph of ¿Citizen Participation Does the information is structured, firstly, in terms Citizen, through what appears are the various municipal offices and what print and online transactions (electronic site), with the folder of the citizen and the company, the Office 24 hours with the possibility to send any comments or suggestions relating to any municipal service are.

On the other hand, it is participation in the municipal administration and decentralized administration in a municipality as large as that of Cartagena.

Therefore we have tried to strengthen the presence of Neighborhood Committees, SKIP, associations and initiative .... you;

that will be the platform that will drive what is the opinion of citizens who want to Cartagena and what their last prioridades.Por figures Cartagena ¿¿, in this section statistical information will increase in the coming months is incorporated, are also the annual reports of some services that will soon add some more, with this Council initiative that from the different areas and services he performed management to analyze and logically display the ciudadano.Junto with these main sections of the portal Transparency has been a direct link to the procedure for access to public information contained in the State Transparency Act, as an administrative procedure by which the right to know, especially on those issues is effective that are not subject to active advertising on the web.

The Act contains a reactive advertising, while the citizen is the questioner, without any motivation, and the Administration is obliged to notify the administrative decision on that right of access, in the maximum period of one month, expandable, where appropriate, to one month in the event that the volume or complexity of the information they may require prior notification to the applicant.

Access to this procedure, of course, can be done in net, (being in fact the only municipal administrative procedure whose record is processed electronically) can find information about it that is of interest.

Finally a great effort Councillor highlighted the efforts that the City Council of Cartagena and especially from the Department and Office of the Transparency Portal and the Data Processing Centre has been made ​​to that in just a few months after the incorporation of the new government, the information is in compliance with legal deadlines, but also be a clear, structured and understandable for the public, including explanatory graphics and opting largely for reusable formats.

Councillor for the open information creates added value, makes it easier to control political action, which is a curb corruption, and also a source of wealth generation applications that are performing different development companies within a sector in clear expansion in the national economy.

This is found in the section of ¿Open Data¿ opening of public data or where the City Council is the public sector information available to all, digital, standardized and open formats, following a comprehensive structure that simultaneously facilitates reuse.
