It is available to the citizens information and data about the activity, actions,
decisions, plans and intentions of the Government.
The actions, laws, decrees or measures taken by the administration are
discussed, evaluated and completed with the opinions of citizens. But the
citizens also raises its own proposals, ideas, queries or complaints to be
discussed and analyzed.
