The leadership of the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI) plans to meet with the Secretariat of the Interior to discuss modernizing access to information and data protection. This initiative aims to reinforce the institution’s value and adapt its operations to societal demands, ensuring robust safeguards for citizens’ rights through improved regulatory frameworks and procedures. At the same time, the INAI firmly opposes legislative efforts to abolish its autonomy and redistribute its functions. Commissioners emphasize that institutional changes must preserve these social achievements rather than eliminate them, pledging to work collaboratively across political forces to protect transparency and data privacy against potential dismantling. This dynamic is crucial for open data advocacy, as it highlights the ongoing tension between maintaining independent oversight bodies and integrating them into broader administrative structures. The outcome will significantly impact the resilience of Mexico’s transparency infrastructure, determining whether citizens’ rights are strengthened by an autonomous guardian or diluted within standard government departments.
