The absence of commissioners at the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI) has paralyzed its sessions, resulting in a substantial backlog of unresolved cases. This institutional paralysis prevents the agency from addressing failures at the local level, directly undermining the legal certainty and investment confidence that are essential for economic stability. Transparency is crucial for building trust in public institutions. When key bodies such as INAI falter, it generates significant uncertainty that negatively affects investor relations and erodes public confidence in the government’s ability to guarantee rights and effectively enforce legal standards. This situation underscores the critical role of open data in maintaining democratic accountability. Strong, functioning transparency agencies are essential to ensure that citizens can access information and hold those in power accountable, forming the backbone of a transparent and trustworthy society.
