The Supreme Court authorized the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI) to resume its functions with only four members, resolving a paralysis caused by the lack of senatorial appointments. This decision allows the agency to restore its normal operations and address its backlog of cases, ensuring effective protection of the right to public information without needing to meet the previously established full quorum. The relevance to open data lies in the fact that a robust, transparent institute is essential to guarantee accountability and access to government information. Without this independent oversight mechanism, the quality and availability of public data could be compromised, undermining civil society’s ability to demand transparency. The conflict highlights the political tension between the executive branch and oversight bodies, putting institutional independence at risk. Maintaining the INAI’s functionality is crucial to preserving democratic standards and ensuring that open data remain accessible, intact, and protected against administrative opacity or the dismantling of citizen oversight structures.
