Summary/Abstract: The transparency of public institutions is necessary for democracy to exist. Decision transparency comes from the political area and is completed by administrative transparency, creating the framework for an active participation of public opinion and mass-media. Thus, communication goes both ways, from the Government area and from the administrative area towards public opinion and the other way around, through a responsible involvement of civil society through publications, questions, information requests, meetings, protests, all influencing decisions taken in the political process.In the material we will prepare, our aim is to analyze the degree of decision transparency in Romania and the consequences of the lack of transparency by observing the on-line response to a national security issue, the Rosia Montana. Project. Results obtained will be analyzed in order to draw pertinent conclusions regarding the current situation and the path to be followed.
