Órganos autónomos enfrentan asedio

Mexico’s autonomous oversight bodies are facing coordinated efforts to weaken them, threatening the constitutional balance of power and violating fundamental rights. The National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information, and Personal Data Protection (INAI) is suffering from operational paralysis due to inaction by the Senate, leaving thousands of citizen requests unresolved. This crisis jeopardizes the core guarantees of access to information and the protection of personal data, highlighting the fragility of institutions essential for open governance. Open data initiatives depend heavily on the strength of institutions like INAI to ensure transparency and maintain citizen trust. When these bodies are paralyzed or deliberately undermined, the flow of public information ceases, rendering open data principles ineffective. Consequently, the absence of functioning oversight mechanisms directly hinders society’s ability to monitor government actions, underscoring the critical need to strengthen autonomous bodies to preserve a functional open data ecosystem.
