How Catalonian Minister Jordi Puigneró is Using Blockchain to Change Governance

Catalonian Minister of Digital Technology and Policies Jordi Puigneró talks regulation, popular appeal, and what blockchain can do for a country. As a member of an elected public administration, Puigneró believes that he has the obligation to serve the people. In the case of blockchain, Puigneró expects that the technology will create a new class of power in society – that of “empowered digital citizens,” on equal ground with the judicial, executive, legislative, and journalistic societal powers. In this world, data would be “owned and controlled by the citizens,” a transferral of information that Puigneró hopes to initiate and facilitate with blockchain.
