Transparencia para el Pueblo, sustituto del Inai, desecha 99 % de recursos de revisión
The article reveals a critical failure in the administration of access to information by Transparencia para el Pueblo, the new oversight body replacing the INAI. Despite handling a massive backlog of citizen complaints, the organization has resolved almost all processed cases by dismissing them due to formal procedural errors, rather than addressing the substantive requests for public data. This approach effectively blocks citizens from obtaining information they are legally entitled to, prioritizing bureaucratic technicalities over the right to know. This trend represents a significant regression in transparency governance, as it denies citizens effective remedies when government agencies fail to respond to information requests. Critics argue that instead of guiding applicants to comply with legal requirements, the authority leaves them in a state of indefensibility. By dismissing the vast majority of appeals without substantive analysis, the institution undermines its mandate to guarantee transparency and protect the fundamental right of public access to information held by federal dependencies. The relevance to open data lies in the organization’s acknowledgment that its future resolutions will be published in an open data portal. However, the current practice of mass dismissal means this initiative currently serves as a record of administrative failure rather than a source of meaningful public information. True open data requires that disputes be resolved in favor of transparency, ensuring that data released actually fulfills citizens' needs and holds institutions accountable, rather than simply documenting rejected requests.
