¿Qué pasará con la Plataforma Nacional de Transparencia sin el INAI?

The article highlights the evolution of Mexico’s transparency infrastructure, culminating in the creation of the National Transparency Platform (PNT). This centralized digital system represents a monumental achievement, consolidating access to public information, request management, and data protection mechanisms across thousands of federal, state, and municipal authorities. It serves as a unified gateway for citizens, significantly reducing the friction required to exercise their right to information and ensuring greater accountability and efficiency in government operations. However, the text warns that proposed constitutional reforms aiming to dismantle the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI) and its autonomous state counterparts would inevitably destroy the PNT. By transferring these functions to the Executive Branch, the reform would fragment the unified system. State and municipal authorities would likely opt out of a centralized platform, reverting to scattered, non-standardized communication channels that severely complicate and diminish public access to government data. This potential dismantling is critically relevant to open data because it threatens to replace a single, interoperable, and comprehensive digital infrastructure with a fragmented and inefficient landscape. The loss of the PNT would not only erase decades of institutional progress but also create massive conflicts of interest, as agencies would effectively police themselves. Consequently, the article argues that such reforms would cause a severe regression in transparency, undermining the open data ecosystem’s ability to foster trust, enable effective citizen oversight, and promote genuine government accountability.
