Datos personales, en riesgo tras posible inoperancia del Inai

Blanca Ibarra Cadena, President of the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI), warned the Senate Chamber about the urgent need to appoint two new commissioners. Without this quorum, the autonomous body would lose its authority to protect citizens’ right to access public information and to ensure the security of their personal data. This administrative paralysis would hinder its ability to act as a second-instance body and resolve appeals of national significance. The annual report reveals a significant increase in citizen demand, with millions of information requests and thousands of appeals received in a single year. These figures demonstrate that the INAI is effectively serving the public by modifying or revoking most responses that violate access rights. However, the lack of full staffing prevents the agency from continuing to address these complaints and conduct verifications with the required competence. This article is relevant to open data because it illustrates the interdependence between institutional transparency and data governance. The INAI’s ineffectiveness not only undermines transparency but also compromises the integrity and protection of personal data. For open data to be truly accessible and secure, it is essential to have operational guarantee bodies that ensure regulatory compliance and accountability in the management of public information.
