Reprochan a Senado por nombramientos en INAI; presentan recurso de queja

Civil organizations have denounced that the Mexican Senate is failing to fulfill its constitutional obligation to appoint the commissioners of the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI). This deliberate inaction has paralyzed the operation of the regulatory body, preventing it from resolving thousands of pending review appeals. As a result, thousands of citizens see their fundamental right to access public information violated, while government institutions abuse data secrecy to maintain opacity. The criticism centers on the fact that the lack of a fully operational INAI board represents a serious regression in transparency and human rights in the country. By leaving crucial vacancies unfilled, the legislative body not only disobeys judicial rulings but also ignores multiple social and international calls to action. This situation creates an environment where administrative discretion favors a few, undermining accountability and society's ability to oversee government activities. This case is fundamental to the open data movement because it demonstrates that technical transparency depends on solid and independent institutional structures. Without a functional regulatory body, transparency policies are effectively empty, as there are no impartial mechanisms to guarantee real access to information. The INAI crisis illustrates how political manipulation of institutions can weaken the legal frameworks that protect freedom of information, directly affecting the quality and availability of public data for civil society.
