Resumen
El objetivo del artículo es extraer aprendizajes para la modificación y mejora de las normas reguladoras de la transparencia en España ante situaciones excepcionales como el estado de alarma, de modo que sirva a finalidades como facilitar la rendición de cuentas y a la labor de los profesionales del periodismo. Metodología: para ello, se realiza un análisis de la controversia sobre la falta de transparencia gubernamental en el contexto del estado de alarma, realizando una reconstrucción de los hitos y circunstancias acontecidas entre los meses de marzo y mayo de 2020 con relación a la transparencia gubernamental del Estado, combinando para ello diversas fuentes de información como estadísticas, datos de encuestas del CIS, noticias de prensa, informes jurídicos y bibliografía. Resultados: el análisis confirma las insuficiencias de la normativa de transparencia detectadas en la literatura por expertos y periodistas. Entre ellas, la falta de un reconocimiento del acceso a la información pública como derecho fundamental, el exceso de los plazos para obtener respuesta a solicitudes de acceso, la escasa utilidad para desarrollar el periodismo de datos o la debilidad del Consejo de la Transparencia y Buen Gobierno, aparte de una falta general de previsiones para hacer eficaz la rendición de cuentas en materia sanitaria y ante la utilización de los contratos de emergencia.
