The AMLO administration failed to uphold its transparency commitments, often declaring information non-existent or improperly classifying it as confidential. The National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI) repeatedly corrected these entities, revealing that many rejections based on security grounds lacked valid justification, thereby undermining public accountability. This pattern highlights a systemic resistance to open data, with key institutions withholding critical documents instead of promoting public access. Such behavior erodes trust in government integrity and obstructs the democratic right to know, prioritizing secrecy over civic engagement. The article is crucial for open data advocates because it demonstrates how institutional inertia and the misuse of exemption clauses hinder data availability. It serves as a stark reminder that legal frameworks alone are insufficient without strict enforcement and a genuine cultural shift toward radical transparency in public administration.
