Overview
- Poder Ciudadano delivered the warning Tuesday at its annual dinner, saying a combination of executive decrees, recent laws and pending bills amount to a rollback of transparency and an expansion of impunity.
- The group singled out decree 780/2024 for narrowing access to public information and decree 467/2026 for cutting stages of public participation in the selection of top judges and prosecutors.
- It criticized the 'inocencia fiscal' measure passed this year for originally allowing public officials to regularize undeclared funds without clear explanations and called proposed political‑finance and lobbying rules risks to oversight.
- Poder Ciudadano also flagged a draft Malvinas bill that criminalizes vague ‘disinformation’ offenses and raised alarm about rising intelligence spending with little accountability.
- The organization tied these moves to Argentina’s falling scores—104th of 182 and 36 points in Transparency International’s index—and to OECD data showing weaker foreign investment, saying the trends carry real economic costs.
