Consumó Congreso desaparición del INAI

The Mexican Congress has approved a constitutional reform that dissolves the autonomous National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI), transferring its functions to the Secretariat of Good Government. This structural shift replaces a centralized guarantee of transparency with fragmented, power-dependent bodies, potentially increasing bureaucracy and hindering public access to information. Concurrently, the government gains expanded authority to withhold data under claims of "national interest," directly managing vast public databases. Critics argue this undermines democratic accountability by eliminating independent oversight and concentrating control over critical transparency mechanisms within the executive branch. This development is vital for open data enthusiasts as it signals a regression in institutional safeguards. It raises serious concerns about data accessibility, potential politicization of information, and the erosion of the robust, autonomous frameworks previously established to protect citizens' right to know.
