Mexico’s ruling coalition approved transparency laws that require public entities to disclose all details of public servants’ compensation, disregarding concerns raised by the opposition and critiques from experts. The legislation mandates the electronic publication of salaries, bonuses, and expenses across all branches of government and autonomous bodies. Information may be kept confidential only in cases where disclosure would threaten national security, public safety, or individual lives, with such restrictions lasting up to five years. This narrow scope reinforces the principle that state secrets cannot serve as a blanket exemption from fiscal accountability. This development is crucial for open data, as it standardizes high-frequency financial transparency across institutions. By eliminating broad exemptions, it ensures that citizens can access precise expenditure data, thereby strengthening democratic oversight and promoting government accountability through accessible digital records.
