The director of the Lotería Nacional de Beneficencia (LNB), Gloriela Del Río, begins to behave like the owner of a farm with regard to information about the administration of the institution under her charge. Now, her Office of Legal Counsel ensures that the minutes of the LNB board of directors are confidential. What secret matters can an institution whose objective is precisely charity deal with? Such a claim is absurd or, as we all suspect, it is the easiest way to hide the negotiations that have been denounced weeks ago. Or is it that perhaps things that should be secret are discussed there, such as the identity of the winners of the present and future prize numbers? It seems that every day citizens lose ground in terms of access to public information, while officials gain - by leaps and bounds - greater discretion to declare opacity by law in matters that must be transparent to citizens. It is inexplicable that Gloriela Del Río still remains at the head of the LNB with the scandals that it leads to. She is another of the "untouchables" of a government that, apparently, would care little if the draws are also held at the headquarters of the Security Council and are declared confidential. – LA PRENSA, Jul. 5.
