Analizará Inai iniciativa que busca desaparecer organismos autónomos
The Mexican transparency institute reaffirms its commitment to independence despite proposed reforms by the executive branch. It argues that transferring its functions to entities dependent on other government powers would compromise its impartiality, turning the state into both judge and party when handling information requests. Maintaining autonomy is essential for effectively safeguarding the human rights to access information and protect personal data. The institute emphasizes that only an independent, specialized body can guarantee the effective exercise of these rights without political interference or conflicts of interest inherent in hierarchical structures. This stance is critical for open data frameworks, which rely on transparent and accountable public institutions. Without guaranteed autonomy, the integrity of open data initiatives is at risk, as external control could undermine the enforcement of transparency obligations for both public and private entities, weakening democratic oversight.
