This lack of response can be interpreted as acceptance (positive silence) or denial (negative silence) of the request. In this article, we will explore in detail both types of administrative silence, their implications, and how they affect citizens and the Administration. ✍️ What is Administrative Silence? Administrative silence is a mechanism that protects citizens against the lack of response from the Public Administration. According to Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations, Administrations are obligated to issue an express resolution for any administrative procedure. However, on many occasions, the Administration does not meet this deadline, resulting in administrative silence. Types of Administrative Silence Positive Administrative Silence Positive administrative silence occurs when the lack of response from the Administration is interpreted as acceptance of the citizen´s request. This type of silence is common in procedures initiated at the request of the interested party, where the expiration of the deadline without notification authorizes the interested party to consider their request accepted by administrative silence. It is important to note that positive silence cannot be used to obtain rights or situations contrary to the law. Negative Administrative Silence Negative administrative silence, on the other hand, implies the denial of the citizen´s request. This type of silence applies in procedures initiated ex officio or in those where the approval of the request could transfer powers related to public domain, affect the environment, or in procedures for the liability of Public Administrations. The denial by administrative silence allows the interested parties to file the appropriate administrative or contentious-administrative appeal. Effects of Administrative Silence Effects of Positive Silence When positive silence occurs, the subsequent resolution of the Administration can only confirm the tacit approval. This means that the Administration cannot issue a negative resolution once the deadline to resolve has passed. The approval by administrative silence has the full effect of an administrative act that concludes the procedure. Effects of Negative Silence In the case of negative silence, the express resolution after the deadline will be adopted without being bound by the sense of the silence. This allows the Administration to issue a resolution that may differ from the initial tacit denial. The denial by administrative silence only allows the interested parties to file the appropriate administrative or contentious-administrative appeal. Obligation of the Administration Regardless of the type of administrative silence, the Administration is obligated to issue an express resolution and notify it in all procedures, even when the deadline for issuing it has passed and administrative silence has occurred. In cases of approval by administrative silence, the subsequent express resolution can only confirm it. Conclusion Administrative silence is a crucial tool for protecting citizens´ rights against government inaction. Understanding when positive or negative silence applies and its effects is fundamental to effectively navigating administrative law. The correct interpretation and application of this legal figure can make a difference in the resolution of administrative procedures and the defense of citizens´ rights. ✨ ⚖️ Welcome to the Online Administrative Law Process offered by MCHM Lawyers.
