¿Quién se queda los datos de la Plataforma Nacional de Transparencia tras la muerte del INAI? Pista: sólo 9% pertenece al Gobierno Federal

The extinction of Mexico’s National Institute for Transparency (INAI) has created a critical legal limbo regarding the custody of the National Transparency Platform. This massive digital repository holds tens of millions of public and personal data records. With the constitutional reform failing to specify a successor for the platform, there is a significant risk that the largest database in the country could be mishandled, potentially compromising the privacy rights of citizens and entities whose information is stored within it. The core controversy lies in the jurisdictional mismatch between the platform’s content and the proposed absorbing authority. While the executive branch plans to transfer these records to an anti-corruption secretariat, the data is overwhelmingly local, belonging to state governments, municipalities, universities, and unions, rather than federal agencies. Transferring this information to a federal executive body would imply improper oversight of local jurisdictions, violating the principle that data custody must align with the legal authority responsible for its generation. This situation is highly relevant to open data because it highlights the dangers of centralized control over decentralized information ecosystems. It demonstrates that without precise legal frameworks and inter-jurisdictional coordination, the dissolution of autonomous bodies can lead to data fragmentation or inappropriate consolidation. Preserving open data integrity requires that access and custody mechanisms respect the multi-level governance structure, ensuring that public information remains accessible and protected across all spheres of government rather than being absorbed by a single central authority.
