The Plenary of the National Institute of Transparency, Access to Information, and Personal Data Protection (INAI) has met with the Secretary of Anti-Corruption and Good Governance, Raquel Buenrostro, with the goal of planning a comprehensive transition of functions due to the disappearance of the institute. Part of the responsibilities of INAI will be taken on by the Secretary of Anti-Corruption and Good Governance as a result of reforms that eliminate INAI as an autonomous body in charge of ensuring the rights of access to information and protection of personal data.
Changes are expected to take place once the Congress of the Union approves the secondary laws that will govern the constitutional modifications. In this regard, the Commissioner President of INAI, Adrián Alcalá Méndez, along with Commissioners Norma Julieta del Río Venegas, Blanca Lilia Ibarra Cadena, and Josefina Román Vergara, agreed with Secretary Buenrostro Sánchez on the importance of effective coordination to ensure a transition that includes specific responsibilities and deadlines, prioritizing substantive issues related to the rights protected by INAI, as well as administrative, legal, and technological aspects.
During the meeting, Buenrostro Sánchez emphasized the importance of preserving the integrity of technological systems during the transition process, stressing the implementation of cryptographic validators to verify and ensure the secure and complete transfer of the National Transparency Platform, a digital tool managed by INAI that connects all the guaranteeing bodies in the country to facilitate the exercise of rights and accountability.
For its part, INAI assured in a statement that it will continue to work until the last day to guarantee the rights of access to information and protection of personal data of the Mexican society, highlighting its commitment to these tasks.
