Claudi Sheinbaum plantea desaparecer al INAI: sólo se requiere que se cumpla la Ley de Transparencia

Claudia Sheinbaum has proposed a radical reform to Mexico’s transparency model, suggesting that large autonomous institutions such as the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI) are unnecessary. Her proposal centers on the idea that strict compliance with the law, combined with the selection of honest public officials, is sufficient to ensure government integrity. By rejecting the creation of new bureaucratic structures to oversee other institutions, she seeks to simplify administration and eliminate what she considers superfluous administrative inefficiencies. This stance has generated significant concerns about the viability and autonomy of current access-to-information bodies. Critics argue that weakening or potentially abolishing the INAI would eliminate a crucial accountability mechanism, leaving transparency oversight exclusively in the hands of the executive branch. The debate highlights the tense balance between administrative efficiency and the protection of independent mechanisms that prevent corruption and safeguard the right to public information. This article is critically relevant to the field of open data, as it questions the institutional foundations that ensure the availability, accessibility, and reliability of public data. If transparency depends solely on the self-regulation of public officials without independent external auditing, confidence in the integrity of open data is undermined. This implies a greater risk of deliberate opacity or manipulation of information, affecting the ability of civil society, researchers, and the media to use public data for democratic oversight and accountability.
