The National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information, and Personal Data Protection (INAI) urges the Senate to appoint its members without partisan interference, emphasizing that political gridlock is crippling its ability to function. The lack of a quorum prevents the resolution of citizen complaints, directly undermining their constitutional right to access information and protect personal data. In the context of open data, this scenario demonstrates that legal frameworks alone are insufficient without functional enforcement mechanisms. When governing bodies cannot operate due to political deadlock, the essential safeguards for data privacy and transparency disappear, leaving individuals vulnerable and eroding public trust in institutional integrity and accountability systems.
