The Mexican Congress is preparing to debate this week the law proposed in February by former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, which seeks to eliminate autonomous bodies in the country.
Among the organizations that could be affected by this proposal are the National Human Rights Commission, the National Institute of Access to Information and Protection of Personal Data, and the Federal Institute of Telecommunications, among others.
The initiative has generated concern both in the opposition and in various sectors of society, which see these autonomous bodies as a guarantee of checks and balances and protection of fundamental rights.
Given this scenario, an intense debate is expected in the Mexican Congress, where the future of these bodies and the impact that their elimination would have on the political and social system of the country will be discussed.
In López Obrador's words, the existence of these autonomous bodies has represented an excess of bureaucracy and unnecessary spending for the State, arguing that his proposal seeks to strengthen governance and efficiency in public administration.
