Summary/Abstract: The transparency of the activity in the public administration is a sine qua non condition for the observance of fundamental citizen rights, ensuring, at the same time, the involvement of the ordinary citizen in the decision-making process. This article will try to analyze some of the situations in which local administration authorities have clearly violated the provisions of Law no. 52/2003 or Law no. 544/2001, restricting the right of citizens to take cognizance of certain draft normative acts regarding important issues related to the good running of the community, free access to various public information or aspects related to training, administration, and the use of local public funds. At the same time, we will highlight the availability of local authorities from Galați, Buzău or Brăila to ensure through their websites access to the annual activity and the involvement of these authorities in economic, social or cultural activities.
