AMLO no ha cumplido con estándares mínimos de transparencia: MCCI

The report by Mexicanos Contra la Corrupción y la Impunidad concludes that the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador has failed to fulfill its promises of transparency, revealing a significant regression in the availability of public data. Far from being the most open administration in history, the current government exhibits greater opacity and a substantial reduction in the tools available to citizens to monitor the exercise of power, contradicting its political narrative and violating minimum legal standards for access to information. The investigation reveals that compliance with transparency obligations has decreased drastically, with a notable drop in reports published by government agencies and a high percentage of abandoned databases on official platforms. This trend not only reflects the production of less information but also an active resistance by authorities to share data, resulting in poor quality and a lack of constant updates in the public catalogs required by law. This analysis is crucial for the open data community because it illustrates how institutional erosion, particularly the weakening of the INAI through budget cuts and the failure to appoint commissioners, can paralyze the fundamental right to access information. The growing opacity not only affects accountability but also sets a dangerous precedent where the government resists scrutiny, demonstrating that transparency is not merely a technical issue but an institutional pillar vulnerable to political decisions that can undermine democracy and the integrity of public data ecosystems.
