Decepcionado y ofendido por el INE, el Alcalde paceño concluye que el Censo fue político y exige auditoría

The La Paz City Hall has expressed profound disillusionment with the National Institute of Statistics, accusing it of compromising the 2024 census through political interference and a lack of technical rigor. Municipal leaders highlight a breach of trust, pointing to the Institute’s unprofessional responses and its reliance on inappropriate data sources, such as Spanish municipal registers, which contradicted agreed-upon cartographic standards. This conflict underscores critical concerns regarding institutional credibility and data integrity in public administration. By characterizing the census as lacking technical authority, the municipality is demanding a bilateral review and an immediate audit. These actions reflect a broader struggle to ensure that demographic data is produced through transparent, consensus-based methodologies rather than political maneuvering. This situation is highly relevant to open data principles, as it illustrates the necessity of independent verification and methodological transparency in official statistics. Without trust in the accuracy and neutrality of government data, open access becomes meaningless, potentially hindering effective planning and civic engagement. Ensuring that statistical bodies operate without political bias is essential for maintaining public confidence and enabling informed decision-making based on reliable information.
