Ana María Díez, from Civic Front, said the site aims to contribute to the fight for transparency and accountability, disseminating information and reports in a secure space for citizens wishing anonymously filter materials documenting corruption and impunity, as well as develop in this way citizens' capacity to punish public servants who engage in such practices.
