The INAI launched an official investigation after the Presidential Office published documents containing personal data related to the Márquez Padilla case. This action violates the General Law on Personal Data Protection, as the administration failed to safeguard individuals’ privacy despite its legal obligation to ensure data confidentiality and secure processing. The Commission’s President strongly condemned this breach as an attack on privacy and freedom of expression in a democracy. Such unauthorized disclosures undermine public trust and underscore the critical need for government entities to respect individual rights. Ignoring the severity of these leaks poses significant risks to citizens’ fundamental liberties. This case is crucial for open data, as it illustrates the tension between transparency and privacy. It emphasizes that while public access to information is essential, it must be balanced with rigorous protection of personal data. Understanding these boundaries helps organizations implement compliant practices that foster trust and uphold democratic values.
