Publicity presentation: all information in the possession of the State is presumed public, except the exceptions provided for by this law.

Transparency and maximum disclosure: all information in power, custody or under the control of the bound subject must be accessible to all persons. Access to public information can only be limited when any of the exceptions provided for in this law are met, in accordance with the needs of democratic and republican society, proportionate to the interest that justify them.

Informalism: The rules of procedure for accessing information should facilitate the exercise of the right and its non-observance may not constitute an obstacle to this. Obligatory subjects may not base the refusal of the request for information on non-compliance with formal requirements or procedural rules.

Maximum access: the information must be published in full, with the highest possible level of disaggregation and by the most available means.

Opening: the information must be accessible in open electronic formats, which facilitate its processing by automatic means that allow reuse or redistribution by third parties.

Dissociation: in that case in which part of the information is framed within the exceptions taxatively established by this law, the non-exempted information must be published in a version of the document that tache, conceals or distributes those parts subject to the exception.

Non-discrimination: Information should be provided to all persons who request it, on an equal basis, excluding any form of discrimination and without requiring expression of cause or reason for the request.

Gratuity: access to information must be free of charge, without prejudice to the provisions of this law.

Control: compliance with the rules governing the right to access to information shall be subject to ongoing monitoring. Resolutions denying requests for access to information, such as the silence of the required compulsory subject, the ambiguity or inaccuracy of its request, may be appealed to the competent body.

Responsibility: Failure to comply with the obligations imposed by this law will cause responsibilities and result in appropriate sanctions.

Limited scope of exceptions: the limits to the right of access to public information must be exceptional, previously established in accordance with the provisions of this law, and formulated in clear and precise terms, with the responsibility of demonstrating the validity of any restriction on access to information by the subject to which the information is required.

In dubio pro petitor: the interpretation of the provisions of this law or of any regulation of the right of access to information must, in case of doubt, always in favour of the greater validity and scope of the right to information.

Facilitation: no public authority may refuse to indicate whether a document works, or not, in its power or to deny the disclosure of a document in accordance with the exceptions contained in this Act, unless the damage to the protected interest is greater than the public interest in obtaining the information.

Good faith: In order to ensure the effective exercise of access to information, it is essential that the persons obliged to act in good faith, that they interpret the law in such a way as to serve the purposes pursued by the right of access, that ensure the strict application of the law, provide the necessary means of assistance to the applicants, promote the culture of transparency and act with diligence, professionalism and institutional loyalty.
