Director del INE le pide a Vicente Cuéllar ‘dejar de hacer campaña política’ con el Censo

The article highlights a conflict in which the director of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INE) accuses a university rector of politicizing the 2024 Census by undermining its technical credibility following an experimental trial. The INE refutes these claims, citing prior coordination and agreements that were violated to serve electoral ambitions for the upcoming general elections. This situation is relevant to open data because it demonstrates how political interference can threaten the integrity and public trust of national statistical agencies. Ensuring that census data remains independent and technically sound is crucial for generating reliable open datasets, which stakeholders depend on for evidence-based decision-making and resource allocation.
