RÉQUIEM POR EL INAI: Formalizan desaparición del Instituto Nacional de Transparencia y transfieren sus funciones al órgano 'Transparencia para el Pueblo' - Noticaribe

Mexico has dissolved the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI), transferring its functions to a new government-controlled entity. This structural change eliminates the autonomous status that previously ensured independent oversight, raising significant concerns about compromised impartiality and weakened protections for public data access. Analysts warn that subordinating transparency functions to anti-corruption ministries threatens accountability, particularly given new legal provisions allowing the government to withhold information. Critics argue that this consolidation undermines decades of progress, potentially obscuring corruption cases and reducing the checks and balances essential for a healthy democracy. This shift is critical for the open data community, as it jeopardizes the institutional independence required to guarantee free and unrestricted access to public information. Without robust, autonomous safeguards, the reliability and availability of government data for civil society and international observers face substantial regression, impacting global standards for transparency and human rights.
