The Mexican government is allocating specific funds to liquidate and close autonomous bodies such as the INAI and Cofece under the 2025 budget. This transition aims to integrate their functions into federal agencies while ensuring dignified retirement for staff, thereby maintaining institutional continuity without job cuts. Technical studies justify budget adjustments within the Judicial Power to eliminate excesses rather than reduce the workforce or close courts. The government asserts that existing federal agencies possess the technical capacity to absorb the operational capacity and responsibilities previously held by the abolished autonomous bodies. This process is highly relevant to open data, as it centralizes transparency and competition oversight. By dismantling specialized autonomous institutes and merging their roles into larger government structures, the potential for fragmented data access and inconsistent privacy standards increases. Consolidating these functions raises critical questions about maintaining the robust, independent data publication frameworks necessary for true public accountability and open information accessibility.
