Inai celebra fallo de SCJN al invalidar 'decretazo' de AMLO
The Supreme Court invalidated a government agreement that broadly classified infrastructure projects as national security matters, thereby denying public access to related information. The Court ruled that this blanket classification violates constitutional transparency rights and prevents citizens from monitoring public spending and project development. The National Institute for Transparency affirmed that security concerns must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, rather than applied generically to obstruct oversight. This decision reinforces the collective right to know and ensures that transparency obligations remain enforceable by authorities. By rejecting the automatic withholding of information, the ruling protects citizens’ ability to hold the government accountable and verify the efficiency of public resources. The Supreme Court emphasized that obstructing such access undermines the very principles of democratic governance and open administration. This case is highly relevant to open data, as it establishes a critical legal precedent against using national security as an excuse for non-disclosure. It confirms that open data initiatives cannot be circumvented by overly broad classifications, ensuring that public infrastructure data remains accessible for civic monitoring and analysis.
