We Want to Know
?We want to know? (span. QueremoSaber) is a digital platform created by citizens that gives them the opportunity to receive public information from the government. Under Law 5282/14 (?Of Free Citizen Access to Public Information and Government Transparency"), the authorities are obliged to provide the requested information within a certain period of time. ?We want to know? functions as an intermediary between citizens and the government, establishing direct communication. Once the information is obtained, it remains on the platform for citizens to consult in the future.
