Citizen Rights

In a Le Monde op-ed, members of the Ma Dada association's board condemn the persistent opacity of French institutions regarding public information access requests. They note that, despite a 1978 law and a 2020 constitutional recognition, 75% of 3,000 queries on their platform went unanswered. This 'ostrich policy' hinders public policy evaluation and citizen debate on key issues like the environment or health.
