Bridge persons?
Hello @Muhammad Mahmoud. I am from Italy, and can tell you that in the past few years we have managed to establish a more constructive relationships with certain sectors of the government. This is due in part to some bridge persons, who have managed to set collaborative projects (some around open data or open government in general) and this has created some links of trust. Not everybody in government wants this open stuff, but that does not matter: what matters is that some do. Sometimes it is junior politicians looking for visibility; other times it may be some senior civil servant who sees a way to make an impact without damaging his or her career. That is enough to start building some small, positive experiences of collaboration, and these can then in turn be used to do more and expand the area of mutual trust. If everything goes well, of course.
