Defender el ISTAI es proteger el derecho de acceso a la información: Natalia Rivera
Sonoran deputies challenged the modification of the call for applications for the president of the Transparency Institute, arguing that the legislative process lacked legality and transparency. Since there was no formal committee or valid session, the alteration is considered an arbitrary act that violates human rights to access information and the protection of personal data. The parliamentary action is deemed illegal and opaque, setting a dangerous precedent for future processes. It is emphasized that a political majority does not constitute an absolute license to ignore the rules, highlighting the responsibility of legislators to act as a filter against such procedural violations and to preserve institutional integrity. This case is crucial for open data, as the legitimacy of institutions responsible for access to information is the foundation for ensuring a transparent society. If the selection processes for their highest authorities are carried out illegally, public trust and the effectiveness of data management are weakened, threatening the democratic accountability essential to the open data ecosystem.
