This document exposes advantages that transparency and access to public information to society can generate. These rights cannot rest only on the legislation, but require actions, objectives, goals and programs that make them effective. It is understood that not only the evolution of these must be observed at the constitutional and legal level, but also attend to the implementation of public policies as generators of citizenship, creating trust in the systems of accountability, supervision and responsibilities, as well as their roots in society, because an informed and participatory society contributes to the growth of their country. In this sense, this document links the right of access to information and transparency as a democratic mechanism in which the State and citizenship binomial provide conditions for improvement based on the information raised during a pandemic.
