INAI, organismo autónomo incómodo para el poder: Ibarra Cadena

The INAI functions as a vital democratic pillar that safeguards citizens against government abuse and promotes impartiality by prioritizing technical criteria over political influence. By resolving a majority of appeals in favor of citizens, the institution ensures accountability and strengthens democratic legitimacy, enabling informed voting and combating corruption. Access to information acts as a key right that facilitates access to other essential services, such as health, education, and justice, while also empowering individuals to navigate bureaucratic processes effectively. Transparency significantly impacts economic development by generating certainty for investors and reducing capital flight caused by information asymmetry. When governments operate openly, private sector actors can better assess infrastructure, fiscal incentives, and public plans, improving investment viability. Furthermore, data protection fosters consumer trust in digital transactions and enhances cybersecurity, benefiting both businesses and individuals by creating a more reliable and secure economic environment. However, the paralysis of the INAI’s Plenary Session has resulted in a massive backlog of unresolved appeals and hindered its ability to address issues of national significance or fulfill international certification roles. This institutional weakness erodes legal certainty and deters foreign investment, highlighting the critical need for the body to function properly. Restoring its operational capacity is essential to maintain transparency as a cornerstone of democracy, ensuring a fairer society with authorities committed to protecting human rights and the public interest.
