Elementa exige transparencia y datos reales en materia de desaparición forzada por parte de la FGE en BC

The NGO Elementa DDHH highlights a critical lack of transparency regarding forced disappearances in Baja California. They report that the General Prosecutor’s Office provided inconsistent data during a legislative appearance, citing figures that contradict official registries and previous transparency requests. This discrepancy suggests that authorities are manipulating statistics to underreport the severity of the crisis. The core issue lies in the unverified nature of these official numbers, which conflict sharply with independent records. While the prosecutor claimed around 26,000 open cases, transparency responses indicate the figure exceeds 40,000. This lack of verifiable evidence prevents public scrutiny and obscures the true scale of the humanitarian emergency, particularly in affected municipalities like San Quintín and San Felipe. This case is vital for open data because it demonstrates how withholding verifiable evidence undermines public trust and accountability. When authorities present unbacked statistics, they hinder the ability to develop effective strategies to address the problem. Recognizing the discrepancy between reported and actual figures is essential for creating evidence-based policies that can effectively combat the rising tide of disappearances.
