Nueva Secretaría Anticorrupción asumirá funciones del INAI | Revista Punto de Vista
Mexico proposes creating a Secretariat for Anti-Corruption and Good Government to replace the National Institute for Transparency’s role in accessing public data. This shift removes the independent body responsible for guaranteeing transparency, raising significant concerns about weakening institutional safeguards against corruption and eroding accountability mechanisms within the federal administration. The restructuring introduces three new secretariats, including a Digital Transformation Agency focused on regulating telecommunications and digital identity. This initiative aims to centralize the proactive dissemination of information and streamline government services through digitalization, fundamentally altering the current distribution of oversight powers and administrative responsibilities across the executive branch. This development is crucial for open data because it challenges the independence of current transparency frameworks. By moving data oversight from an autonomous institute to a political secretariat, it risks reducing the objectivity and accessibility of public information, potentially hindering civil society’s ability to monitor government actions and ensuring the integrity of open data ecosystems.
