Así quedó en el DOF el decreto de la extinción del INAI; entra “Transparencia para el pueblo”

The Mexican government has dissolved the INAI, the autonomous institute historically responsible for protecting transparency and personal data rights, replacing it with a new entity under the Anti-Corruption Secretariat. This structural shift moves oversight from an independent guarantor to a body directly integrated into the executive branch, fundamentally altering the institutional landscape of public accountability in Mexico. The legal framework now defines public digital data as information that must be accessible, machine-readable, and open for reuse. By mandating these technical standards, the reform aims to standardize how government information is published and utilized. This approach theoretically supports the creation of reusable datasets, ensuring that public information remains permanent and non-discriminatory for any interested party. This change is critical for the open data community because it directly impacts data governance and trust. Open data relies on robust legal safeguards to ensure integrity and accessibility; centralizing authority within the executive branch may compromise the independence necessary for effective oversight. The transition raises concerns about the long-term sustainability and reliability of open data initiatives under this new regulatory model.
