IV Argentine Anti-Corruption Congress to be held in Paraná and Santa Fe

The IV Argentine Anti-Corruption Congress is scheduled to take place on August 27 and 28, held in the cities of Paraná and Santa Fe. The event aims to bring together prosecutors, journalists, specialists, and civil society representatives to discuss various dimensions of corruption and promote citizen involvement in its prevention.

The congress will feature panels focused on civil society and the justice system. Participants include figures such as Martín D'Alessandro, president of Poder Ciudadano, and several prominent federal prosecutors. Organizers emphasize the goal of moving the discussion beyond academic circles to make anti-corruption a collective public concern.

Experts at the event will address structural corruption, defined by the formula of monopoly over power plus discretion in public functions minus transparency. Discussions will also highlight citizen tools for oversight, such as the 'Ficha Limpia' initiative, which seeks to prevent candidates with criminal records from running for office.
