You say that the international trend is the opposite. That means that the international trend is to believe in democracy. People say that representatives should be elected and be accountable to the people. We see in the news everything that is going on in other countries. People don't want dictatorship. They want transparency. They want elected representatives to work for them. But they say that if people want information, it's going to cost them more. At the same time, they are saying they don't want to give out that information. That is a strange message to be sending if the international trend is moving in the opposite direction.
