INAI celebra fallo contra primer decreto de AMLO
The Supreme Court annulled an agreement that classified federal infrastructure projects as matters of national security. This ruling safeguards the public’s right to know and prevents the government from arbitrarily withholding information about public works. Citizen oversight relies on transparent access to data. By eliminating broad secrecy classifications, authorities are now required to disclose relevant project details, ensuring accountability in public spending and administrative actions. This decision is crucial for the principles of open data, affirming that security claims cannot override transparency obligations. It reinforces the legal framework in which the public interest demands accessible information, thereby strengthening democratic control over government operations.
