A judicial ruling orders the Senate to appoint the remaining commissioners of the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI), thereby reinforcing the constitutional independence of this essential oversight body. The Senate’s legal challenge to halt the appointment process was dismissed, confirming that no political entity may undermine fundamental democratic institutions. This case is of critical importance for open data, as it ensures that the agency retains the capacity to enforce transparency and protect personal information. By securing the institute’s full operational status, citizens are better protected against arbitrary government actions and the misuse of their data.
