The INAI warns that proposed legislative changes dissolving seven autonomous bodies, including itself, threaten democratic safeguards. By transferring oversight functions to executive ministries, the reform allows the government to act as both judge and party in transparency matters. This structural shift undermines the independence required to guarantee access to information and protect personal data effectively. The dissolution also eliminates the National Transparency System, which plays a crucial role in accountability and combating corruption. The loss of these specialized institutions risks creating uncertainty regarding the protection of citizens' private information. Such a regression threatens the foundational pillars of Mexican social and democratic life, eroding essential human rights guarantees. This situation is critical for open data because institutional autonomy ensures data integrity and public trust. When oversight bodies are subordinated to political power, transparency mechanisms weaken, jeopardizing reliable data flows. Preserving independent entities is vital for maintaining the accountability and open access necessary for a functioning democratic society.
