Cerrada elección de presidente del INAI

The INAI has selected Adrián Alcalá as its new president for the 2023–2026 term, bringing an end to a contentious internal selection process marked by repeated voting ties. This decision follows the withdrawal of Norma Julieta del Río, who cited ethical concerns and allegations of institutional obstruction, and called for a necessary organizational overhaul to ensure transparency and good governance. Alcalá’s appointment carries significant implications for the protection of citizens’ right to know. His mandate focuses on strengthening the institution through consensus-building and ethical compliance, with the aim of rebuilding public trust and ensuring effective oversight of government transparency. This leadership change directly affects how data access is managed and protected for the general public. This development is crucial for open-data advocates, as the INAI serves as the primary guarantor of transparency in Mexico. Ensuring an independent and robust oversight body is essential for maintaining accountability and facilitating the free flow of public information, which underpins democratic participation and civic engagement.
