Władze publiczne wobec sygnałów obywatelskich – rozważania w kontekście transpozycji dyrektywy 2019/1937 o ochronie praw sygnalistów

Public authorities, broadly defined, receive a wide variety of citizen signals. The development of the institutions of the democratic state has resulted in a variety of procedures. The complaints and applications procedure is gradually being displaced by other methods, often more attractive, such as petitions or applications to the Ombudsman. The implementation of Directive 2019/1937 on the protection of whistleblowers has further increased the scope of public scrutiny of the implementation of public and economic tasks. However, increasing the effectiveness of the response to reported abuses requires adapting the obligations of public authorities and current procedures, especially complaints procedures, to current realities.
