🛡️ Do you think a public body acted improperly?
Where can you turn? 📢

✍️ About a month ago, we published a post about the option of contacting the public inquiries and complaints departments in public institutions.

❓What happens if you don’t receive a response there either?

🏛️ You can contact the Public Complaints Commission at the State Comptroller’s Office.

⚖️ Anyone can lodge a complaint about an act or an issue handled poorly, committed in violation of the law, without authority, or that involves clear/blatant injustice.”

✅ Who can you complain about?

🔹 Government ministries
🔹 Local authorities
🔹 Public institutions and bodies such as the National Insurance Institute, health funds, the Electric Company, universities and more.

📌 Important to know:

🔸 The procedure is free and there is no need for a lawyer
🔸 Anyone may file a complaint (citizen, resident, foreign worker, refugee or tourist), at any age
🔸 You can file a complaint up to one year from the date of the act or from the day you learned about it (except in exceptional cases)
