COTEC report

Paying attention to the demands of Spain’s rural areas

Under the research line PIA2022 of COTEC Foundation, we examined the social demands coming from rural territories of Spain to tackle inequality, analysing how their petitions have been portrayed in the media and debated in the parliament in the last years. This study combines different methodologies, such as the conduction of interviews or the use of civic technologies, to shed light on the dynamics of inequalities affecting the rural population.

RTVE 2030

An online search tool that displays the time in the news and divulgative programmes broadcasted by RTVE dedicated to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. To measure this, we use Radar ODS, an AI-powered technology that classifies all types of content. Citizens and civil society organisations can navigate the website to know how the targets and goals of 2030 Agenda are being addressed, visualising interactive graphs and comparing programmes.

QHLD

A civic tech tool that systematises, classifies and shows in a simple and accessible manner everything happening at the Congreso de los Diputados (Spain’s Parliament).

The tool has been used by academia, civil society organisations and citizens, making everyday an open day at the Spanish parliament.

No os vamos a engañar

No os vamos a engañar. Es agotador. Llevamos 14 años innovando, proponiendo y exigiendo más transparencia y más rendición de cuentas a los poderes públicos y ahora, con la democracia anémica y sus enemigos envalentonados, estalla un nuevo escándalo. Como la gota que colma el vaso.

Habemus Parlamento Abierto

Ha costado años, pero por fin se ha presentado oficialmente el I Plan de Parlamento Abierto, que marca un hito en el camino hacia la transparencia y la apertura institucional del Congreso de los Diputados. De hecho, es el primero de la historia de la democracia. Y Political Watch ha estado allí, con la intervención de nuestro director, Javier Pérez González, en el acto institucional.
