Transparency and accountability in government institutions are considered fundamental pillars of democracy. In this context, the issue of stock trading by members of Congress raises widespread debate, especially when this trading coincides with insider information not available to the general public. The hashtag #CongressTradingBan reflects increasing popular demands for a ban on financial trading by members of Congress during their term, to ensure that there is no conflict of interest or exploitation of public office for personal gain.
The absence of strict legislation in this area may lead to a loss of citizens' trust in the political system as a whole, and it reinforces the feeling that there are "different rules" for the elite. Therefore, supporting such a ban is not only a moral demand but also a necessary reform for the stability and fairness of the democratic system.
