INE descarta volver a censar y pide levantar bloqueos

The National Institute of Statistics firmly rejects recounting census data in disputed border zones, asserting that its role is strictly statistical and does not include resolving territorial jurisdiction conflicts. By relying on cartographic guidelines from autonomous ministries, the INE clarifies that assigned codes do not determine municipal belonging, thereby dismissing protests demanding a redo of the census. Residents who mistakenly view the census as a political tool are urged to lift blockades, as the agency emphasizes that boundary definitions fall under the purview of provincial governments and autonomy ministries. This distinction is crucial for maintaining institutional boundaries, ensuring that statistical operations remain distinct from political or administrative territorial disputes. This development is relevant to open data because it highlights the critical need for precise, standardized geographic reference systems in public datasets. Clear separation between statistical boundaries and political jurisdictions ensures data integrity, preventing misinformation while enabling accurate cross-referencing of demographic information with administrative records for better governance and resource allocation.
