| description | In this research project transparency is analyzed as a form of democratic control in the citizen councils of the municipality of Leon, Guanajuato during the municipal administration of 2009-2012. Through the information available on the municipal portal this paper analyzes if the citizen participation in these councils is transparent in terms of its regulations and performance. From 1989 until 2012 the National Action Party (PAN) governed the municipality. During these 23 years it generated and consolidated the regulations and operations of the citizen councils as the expression of citizen participation of the political party that governed the municipality. This research is quantitative and descriptive and uses the samples of the regulations and proceedings that appear in the portal of transparency of the municipality of Leon, Guanajuato. The findings indicate that there are two types of citizen councils: governing and advising. Out of a total of 29 councils, only 12 publish their minutes and there is no sanction for this behavior. Citizen participation due to the institutional governmental design is presented more as a simulation than a condition for accountability and democratic control of government actions. |

En este trabajo se analiza la transparencia como forma de control democrático en los consejos ciudadanos del municipio de León, Guanajuato (México), durante la administración municipal 2009-2012. Desde la información del portal de transparencia municipal se propone analizar si la participación ciudadana en estos consejos es transparente en cuanto a su reglamentación y desempeño. Desde 1989 hasta 2012, el Partido Acción Nacional gobernó el Municipio; en estos 23 años se generó y consolidó la reglamentación y funcionamiento de los consejos ciudadanos como la expresión de participación ciudadana del partido político que gobernó el municipio. La investigación que se realiza es de tipo cuantitativo descriptivo, las muestras usadas son los reglamentos y actas que aparecen en el portal de transparencia municipal de León, Guanajuato. Se encuentra que los consejos ciudadanos son de dos tipos: directivos y consultivos. De un total de 29 consejos, únicamente 12 publican sus actas y no hay sanción por esta conducta. La participación ciudadana por el diseño institucional gubernamental se presenta más como una simulación que como condición para una rendición de cuentas y control democrático de las acciones gubernamentales. Neste trabalho, é analisada a transparência como uma forma de controle democrático nos conselhos de cidadãos, no município de León, Guanajuato (México), durante a administração municipal 2009-2012. A partir das informações do portal municipal de transparência, o artigo propõe analisar se a participação cidadã nestes conselhos é transparente em termos de sua regulação e desempenho. De 1989 a 2012, o Partido da Ação Nacional governou o Município. Nestes 23 anos, é gerada e consolidada a regulamentação e funcionamento dos conselhos de cidadãos como a expressão de participação cidadã do partido político que governou o município. A pesquisa realizada é de tipo quantitativa descritiva e as amostras utilizadas são os regulamentos e atas que aparecem no portal de transparência municipal de León, Guanajuato. Verifica-se que os conselhos de cidadãos são de dois tipos: diretores e consultores. De um total de 29 conselhos, apenas 12 publicam suas atas e não há sanção pela falta deste comportamento. A participação dos cidadãos no desenho institucional do governo se apresenta mais como uma simulação que como uma condição para a prestação de contas e controle democrático das ações do governo.
