Centralizing the functions of autonomous constitutional bodies such as the National Institute of Transparency, Access to Information and Protection of Personal Data (INAI) in government institutions would seriously compromise impartiality, weaken transparency and the protection of personal data, the president commissioner stated yesterday of the organization, Adrián Alcalá Méndez.
From the INAI we will continue to insist on the importance of strengthening and not eliminating our institutions
said Méndez at the installation of the National Plan for the Socialization of the Right of Access to Information (DAI) in Puebla.
Commissioner Blanca Lilia Ibarra Cadena, coordinator of the Access Policy Commission, Open Government and Transparency of the INAI, recognized that access to information is going through a historic situation due to the constitutional reform that is being processed in the Congress of the Union, and assured that “there should be no going back in the defense and progressivity of people’s rights.
We are convinced that in a democracy and in a country like Mexico we must promote rights and freedoms. Therefore, defending the human rights agenda corresponds to each and every one of us.
he told representatives of institutions that make up the Local Socialization Network of the DAI Plan of Puebla.
