There is a debate surrounding the alleged burdensomeness of autonomous bodies, a topic that has not yet been backed by concrete evidence. It is argued that the State can regulate, oversee, and audit itself without the need for these autonomous organizations. However, it has been pointed out that the budget allocated to autonomous bodies could fund the pension system in Mexico for a year, raising the question of what the true motivation behind the government's insistence on dismantling them is.
It has been mentioned that the justification is based on budgetary reasons and the fight against corruption, proposing that the funds saved could be used to increase pensions. Despite this, it is argued that these organizations contribute to improving bureaucratic efficiency by limiting the power of the Executive and clarifying dark areas of the government, which contrasts with the official narrative.
The approach of the current government is questioned, which seems to move away from citizen scrutiny and opt for an authoritarian regime with no limits to its actions. Despite the absence of significant corruption cases related to autonomous bodies, there is insistence on their dissolution in a maneuver that many voices consider an attempt to consolidate an authoritarian state.
In this context, a constitutional reform is projected that seeks to eliminate these independent bodies, which have historically served as a counterbalance to Executive power. This movement raises questions about government transparency and respect for the rule of law. In light of this situation, a reflection is proposed on the importance of these autonomous bodies in democratic function and power control.
