The National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information, and Personal Data Protection (INAI) has announced that it will rigorously examine the constitutional reform proposed by President López Obrador, which aims to eliminate autonomous bodies. The INAI firmly asserts that its independent functions cannot be absorbed by any branch of public power, pledging to act strictly within its legal mandate to safeguard fundamental rights. This position underscores the critical defense of institutional autonomy, a cornerstone of effective open data frameworks. By reaffirming its commitment to transparency and data protection, the INAI emphasizes that independent oversight is essential to prevent political interference in the management of public information. The institute stresses that its role in protecting citizens’ right to access information is non-negotiable and vital for democratic accountability. This situation is highly relevant to open data, as it illustrates the tension between political centralization and independent data governance. If autonomous transparency bodies are dismantled, the mechanisms ensuring public access to government information could be compromised. The INAI’s resistance signals a broader struggle to maintain robust, transparent data ecosystems that serve the public interest rather than exclusive political or oligarchic agendas.
