28 septembrie, Ziua Internațională a Accesului la Informație: Ce poți cere unei instituții publice

International Access to Information Day is observed on September 28, 2026, focusing on information integrity in the digital age. In Romania, citizens can request public information from authorities under Law 544/2001. This law defines public interest information and outlines the process for requesting it, including response timelines. The 2026 theme emphasizes the need for credible information to combat misinformation. Access to public data is crucial for informed decision-making, and while not all information is public, transparency and proactive publication are encouraged. The UN highlights the importance of timely access to credible sources, especially in the context of AI and digital technologies.
