| Hi there, Is Latin America at a turning point in the fight against corruption? This week, at the World Economic Forum (WEF) on Latin America, our Chair, Delia Ferreira Rubio, set out to São Paulo, Brazil to lead the debate. “Corruption is like the tango; you need two to dance. In each corrupt agreement, there is someone from the public sector and someone from the private sector – the one demanding or accepting bribes and the other paying or offering them. We cannot tackle the problem by focusing on only one of the partners.” – Delia Ferreira Rubio, Chair of Transparency International At the WEF, our chair participated in the launch of Tech for Integrity, a digital platform that leverages emerging technologies to accelerate anti-corruption efforts. She also engaged in a panel discussion on how to break the cycle of corruption. In it, she stressed the importance of ending impunity and preventing corruption by regulating and monitoring political finance, and tackling conflicts of interest. Meanwhile, back in Europe, parliament members debated next steps in the ongoing investigation into the murder of Slovakian journalist, Ján Kuciak. Kuciak was possibly exposed after submitting requests for information while investigating corruption. Calling on the European Union to take swift action, the NGO community released a joint statement urging parliament members to uphold the rights of journalists, activists and all individuals in making freedom of information requests. |
