Others about us
“Through portals like FragDenStaat, more and more things are becoming public. This is a development that is not desirable for the administration.”

Federal Ministry of the Interior
“People who have long opposed well protected EU borders.”

Frontex
“Official secrecy is often used by authorities and ministries as a pretext for refusing to provide information. And often they don't even know what transparency they are obligated to provide under the Freedom of Information Act. FragDenStaat helps! And it makes it easier for journalists to gain access, which they can and must demand.”
