🔴 Germany plans to heavily restrict the access to public information. Transparency International Germany warns that current plans from senior coalition leaders of the CDU, CSU and SPD – the federal government partners – will gut Germany’s Freedom of Information Act (IFG). 🧵⬇️

PROPOSED CHANGES IN GERMANY’s Freedom of Information Act (IFG) AT A GLANCE: 

Restrict access to information by requiring applicants to demonstrate a “legitimate interest,” reversing the principle that public information should be accessible by default.  

Remove the right to file information requests for organizations and potentially exclude millions of residents without German or EU citizenship.  

Eliminate the current fee cap, potentially making requests prohibitively expensive and turning access to information into a privilege rather than a right. 

Allow authorities to routinely redact the names of officials responsible for decisions, reducing accountability and increasing risks of corruption and abuse of power.  

Introduce additional grounds for rejecting information requests, making it easier for authorities to withhold information.

🎥 10 years ago, the Panama Papers exposed corruption to the world. It uncovered billions of suspect funds moving through the global economy and how corrupt elites were hiding their stolen wealth. Since then, progress has been made but the flow of dirty money remains. 🔗Full link in comments ⤵️
