Disfruté cada momento en el INAI: Francisco Javier Acuña

Francisco Javier Acuña concludes his tenure as the last remaining commissioner of the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI), highlighting that his departure will leave the agency unable to function due to the loss of the minimum legal quorum required to hold sessions. This critical situation stems from vacancies in its own positions and the presidential veto of its successors, putting at risk the functionality of an institution essential for guaranteeing the right to information. The relevance of this article for open data lies in the direct threat it poses to government transparency. Without a fully operational board, the INAI cannot process requests, resolve disputes, or oversee obligated entities, thereby weakening citizens’ ability to demand accountability. The institutional paralysis exposes the fragility of democratic oversight mechanisms and the risk of deinstitutionalization of the Mexican state. Acuña emphasizes that the effectiveness of democracy depends on the functioning of its institutions, warning against the danger of prioritizing political leadership over legal norms. In response to this crisis, he seeks intervention by the Supreme Court to adjust the quorum requirements and allow for continued operations, reminding us that the democratic value of society must go hand in hand with respect for the legal structures that protect fundamental rights.
