1 | NGO Penalized for Requesting Information on Corruption in Spain | ONG Voasazy Noho Ny Fikaroham-Baovao Momba Ny Kolikoly Ao Espaina |
2 | After a five-year legal battle, Access Info Europe, an NGO with whom the author of this article collaborates, has been sentenced to pay 3,000 euros [es] after the Supreme Court ruled that it did not have the right to know what Spain does to fight against corruption. | Taorian'ny dimy taona nanaovana ady teny amin'ny fitsaràna, voasazy handoa 3.000 euros [es] ny Access Info Europe, ONG iray iarahan'ny mpanoratra ity lahatsoratra ity miasa, taorian'ny namoahan'ny Fitsarana Ambony didy milaza fa tsy manana zo hahafantatra izay fomba ataon'i Espaina hiadiana amin'ny kolikoly izy. |
3 | The European organization, based in Madrid, fights to institute and ensure compliance of the European transparency laws while simultaneously promoting the right to accessing information worldwide with the goal of having this be recognized as a fundamental right. | Mitolona hametraka sy hisian'ny fanajàna ny fampiharana ireo lalàna Eoropeana momba ny Mangarahara ity fikambanana Eoropeana manana ny foibeny ao Madrid ity no sady mamporisika ihany koa ny fanandratana ny zo ho afaka mahazo vaovao manerana ny tany ka ny tanjona amin'izany dia ny mba hanekena azy io ho zo fototra. |
4 | On June 14, 2007, a member of the Access Info board requested information from the Spanish Ministry of Justice, asking for the measures the government was taking in accordance with the U.N. Convention against corruption. | Ny 17 Jona 2007, nikaro-baovao tany amin'ny Ministeran'ny Fitsara Espaniola ny mpikambana iray ao anatin'ny fitantanana ny Access Info, nangataka ireo fepetra noraisin'ny governemanta mifanaraka amin'ny an'ny Firenena Mikambana. Fifanarahana hiadiana amin'ny kolikoly. |
5 | The information was denied and the case ended up in the courts until it exhausted the legal channels in May of 2012. | Nolavina ny hanome vaovao ary niafara teny amin'ny fitsaràna ilay tranga, mandra-pahatapitry ny dingana ara-pitsarana rehetra azo natao, tamin'ny May 2012. |
6 | As such, the Spanish Supreme Court alleged that following the demand for information on anti-corruption measures, the NGO expected to the government to provide explanations for its actions, a right that only the Parliament has, and for that it was fined 3,000 euros. | Amin'ny tahaka izao, ny Fitsarana Ambony Espaniola dia mieritreritra fa ao ambadik'ilay fikaroham-baovao momba ny fepetra iadiana amin'ny kolikoly, dia niandrandra ny hahazo fanazavana avy amin'ny governemanta momba ny asany ilay ONG, izay ny parlemanta irery ihany no manana zo hanao izany, ary dia voasazy 3.000 Euros noho io. |

8 | The last option for the organization is to present the case to the European Court of Human Rights, which could delay the case for years. | Ny safidy farany ho an'ilay fikambanana dia ny mitondra ilay tranga ho eo anatrehan'ny Fitsarana Eoropeana momba ny Zon'Olombelona, izay mety hitaritarika ny raharaha mandritra ny taona maro. |
9 | To meet the costs imposed by the Supreme Court, the NGO has launched a campaign to raise enough money to pay the fine. | Mba hiatrehana ny fandaniana napetraky ny Fitsarana Ambony, nanomboka fanentanana iray ho fanangonam-bola sahaza ho entina mandoa ilay sazy ilay ONG. |
10 | The members of the organization say that any type of collaboration is welcome - whether monetary or spreading the word - considering that the cause justifies it: supporting the fight for transparency in Spain. | Milaza ireo mpikambana ao amin'ilay fikambanana fa raisina an-tànan-droa daholo izay karazana tolotra fandraisana anjara rehetra - na ara-bola izany na amin'ny fanelezana ny feo - amin'ny fiheverana fa mendrika sy manamarina izany ny tolona atao: fanohanana ny ady atao hisian'ny mangarahara ao Espaina. |
11 | The campaign has received support on Twitter, a network on which so many politicians, civil society organizations, journalists and citizens related to the transparency cause have contributed to spreading the petition of support. | Nahazo fanohanana tao amin'ny Twitter ilay fanentanana, tambajotra iray nahitàna ny fandraisana anjaran'ireo politisiana maro, fikambanana fiarahamonina sivily, mpanao gazety ary olon-tsotra mifandray amin'ny resaka tolona ho amin'ny fangaraharàna, tamin'ny fenelezana ilay fanangonan-tsonia ho fanohanana. |
12 | In its first day, Access Info raised more than 800 euros. If donations exceed the needed amount, the money will go towards other legal cases. | Tamin'ny andro voalohany, nahazo maherin'ny 800 Euro ny Access Info. Raha mihoatra noho izay nilaina ny fanomezana azo, dia hatolotra ho aminà tranga hafa manaraka ny lalàna. |

14 | The case is alarming for various reasons: it does not grant the right to know the measures taken to fight corruption, especially when Spain is living in an unprecedented time of crisis that triggers citizen discontent. | Mahatahotra noho ny antony maro ilay tranga: tsy manome ny zo hahafantatra ireo fepetra noraisina hiadiana amin'ny kolikoly, indrindra fa miaina anaty krizy tsy mbola nisy toa azy i Espaina, izay nitarika ny tsy hafalian'ny vahoaka. |
15 | The context does not allow for an understanding of the sentence when new cases of political corruption are disclosed in the media day after day, corruption that now affects even the country's monarchy. | Tsy ahafahana mahatakatra ny votoatin'ilay sazy ny vanim-potoana rehefa misy tranganà kolikoly ara-politika vaovao mivoaka anaty media isanandro vaky izao, kolikoly izay ankehitriny na ny fitondram-panjaka ao amin'ilay firenena aza dia tratrany. |
16 | It is also problematic to deny such requests for information when Spain is processing the Law of Transparency, Access to Information and Good Governance [es] in the Parliament. | Olana ihany koa ny handà fikaroham-baovao toy izany indrindra anatin'ny fotoana iresahan'ny parlemanta ao Espaina ny Lalàna momba ny Mangarahara, Fahafahana mahazo Vaovao sy Fitondràna Tsara Tantana [es]. |
17 | International experts have analyzed and harshly criticized this law for not meeting international standards and excluding many areas of information that the citizens will not have access to. | Ireo manampahaizana manokana iraisam-pirenena dia nanadihady sy nanakiana mafy ity lalàna ity ho tsy mifanaraka amin'ny fenitra iraisampirenena sady manilika ireo sehatra fampahalalam-baovao maro tsy ho azon'ny vahoaka hidirana. |
