The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation determined that the Senate has failed to fulfill its constitutional obligation to appoint the remaining commissioners of the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI). By rejecting the proposal to declare this omission as non-existent, the court acknowledged the administrative irregularity and the violation of the state’s duty, which could allow the agency to operate with a reduced number of members to address the backlog of pending cases. This ruling is crucial for open data because it ensures the operational capacity of the main guarantor of access to public information in Mexico. The inactivity of the full bench delays resolutions on information requests filed by citizens, directly affecting institutional transparency and citizens’ ability to exercise their right to know about public administration. The relevance for the open data community lies in the fact that without a functional INAI, oversight over compliance with transparency obligations by obligated entities is weakened. The judicial decision pressures for the restoration of the regulatory authority, ensuring that the legal framework supporting the availability and access to public information remains valid and effective.
