Dejan en el aire la Plataforma Nacional de Transparencia

The constitutional reform that eliminates the autonomy of the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI) leaves the future of the National Transparency Platform in a state of uncertainty. This critical digital asset houses billions of records on contracts, public spending, and personal data. By transferring the powers of the guaranteeing body to the federal government, the mechanism for swift and impartial review that previously protected the right to access information has been eliminated, raising concerns about the potential loss of integrity and security in the management of this vast repository of public data. This restructuring poses significant risks to accountability and citizen privacy, as the absence of an independent body could weaken the capacity to sanction officials who refuse to share information. Experts and legislators warn that without an autonomous guarantor, transparency ceases to be an effective right and becomes an administrative discretion, which could affect both investigative journalism and access to vital information by victims and families seeking justice. In the field of open data, this case illustrates the fragility of technical infrastructure when it lacks robust institutional safeguards. The relevance lies in the fact that open data are not merely technical files, but governance tools that require independence to ensure their accessibility and legal protection. Without an autonomous institutional framework, there is a danger that the availability of these data could be compromised by political interests, eroding public trust and the ability of civil society to use information as a tool for democratic oversight.
