Passive Transparency
The right of citizens to request information not proactively published by public institutions.
Definition
Passive Transparency refers to the right of any person to formally request information that is not already proactively published by public institutions. Under LOTAI, public entities are legally obligated to respond to these requests within a specified timeframe (typically 15 days), providing the requested information unless it falls under one of the legitimate exemptions. This mechanism ensures that citizens can access specific pieces of information relevant to their interests or concerns, complementing the proactive disclosure requirements.
