Avanzan en comisiones leyes en materia de transparencia

Mexico has approved legislation to abolish the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI) and transfer its transparency and data protection functions to the new Secretariat of Anti-Corruption and Good Governance. While opposition leaders argue that this dismantles an independent body for political reasons, the ruling party maintains that transparency will remain intact, ensuring that public access to government spending and personal data remains available. This legislative shift is highly relevant to open data, as it centralizes data governance within the executive branch rather than an autonomous institute. It raises critical questions about institutional independence and the potential risks to data integrity when oversight mechanisms are merged into government ministries. The move signals a fundamental restructuring of how public information is managed, monitored, and accessed by citizens, directly impacting the principles of open government and data accountability.
