Did you know that approximately 50% of parliamentary documents in Spain are not web searchable?

In any democracy like Spain, constitutional transparency is not only important but also essential. As such, it is pertinent that public policy documents and political developments are being monitored and made available to the general public. Public policy monitoring has evolved from a time-consuming, unsustainable task to a comprehensive and strategic enabler for successful advocacy.

On the one hand, access to information is very valuable to individuals as well as to businesses. Public policy monitoring enables society and stakeholders to accompany political developments. In this regard, it is important to recognize that good decision-making, is, by its very nature, based on the information available. On the other hand, a lack of information, can create uncertainty, and knowledge gaps and result in poor decision making. Through the advancement in technologies and the post-pandemical transformation of work processes, public policy monitoring is now easily integrated into collaborative processes. Policy-Insider.Ai integrates seamlessly through tools such as Microsoft Teams or #Slack.

The Spanish Context

When we started adding Spanish parliamentary sources to policy-insider.ai, we found 50% of their public policy documents not to be web searchable. That means that your typical google search would not find these documents, hence creating a massive knowledge gap.

However, before we dive deeper into the accessibility of public policy documents in Spain, it is important that we understand where those documents come from. In this regard, the constitution of Spain outlines its separation of powers into three branches. At the national level, these branches are:

  • the executive branch (led by the Prime Minister (“La Moncloa”) and represented by the King),
  • the legislative branch (composed of the two parliamentary houses (House of Deputies and the Senate),
  • and the judiciary (including the Cortes Generales).

All these institutions and many more are included in policy-insider.ai (try it here).

Such branches of government are responsible for enacting, enforcing, and interpreting the laws of Spain, in a complex interaction. Consequently, massive amounts of public policy documents are being drafted by these institutions and their accessibility is key for the Spanish general public as well as for interested parties.

But, why is access to such documents so important? The answer is simple. Society, whether it may be a person or a business, needs to be aware of ever-changing policies which may affect their everyday lives. Also, the public is given to represent its interests through appropriate advocacy.
