A citizen has submitted a request for public information to the president of a municipal water and sewage company about its actions concerning a local referendum, specifically regarding the provision of space to display banners opposing the referendum. The request included copies of contracts, invoices, and transfers, along with the names of the individuals or entities that commissioned the service.

In response to the request, the company provided the required documents, but they were anonymized, which led to dissatisfaction from the requester. The company justified this decision by citing the privacy protection of its contractors, suggesting a tension between public accountability and the need for privacy in business dealings. This has implications for how public companies handle transparency requests and their obligations under the Freedom of Information Act.

The situation escalated when the citizen filed a complaint against the president of the company for inertia, indicating a possible legal challenge regarding the interpretation of public information laws versus privacy rights. This case may set a precedent for future requests for transparency in municipal operations and how similar entities balance privacy and accountability.
