PAN member Humberto Aguilar Coronado, who was Undersecretary of the Interior, warned that the judicial order was to harmonize and homogenize the procedures for the registration of acts and facts of civil status, not to federalize the management of civil registries.
The PAN member stated that the Congress of the Union does not have the power to establish the organizational structure of the state civil registries” and what is proposed “means a clear interference by the federal government in functions that correspond to the state governments, under the pretext of approving procedures”.
In addition, PAN legislator María Elena Pérez Jaén claimed that personal data protection mechanisms should not be expressly established, “including biometrics, to avoid the risk of theft of this information that can be carried out by personnel with access to the database. data as well as by external agents through hacking”.
According to their data, in September 2021 the Civil Registry of the town hall of Centro, Tabasco, was hacked, there was theft of keys for the issuance of birth and marriage certificates.
In August 2022, “a false page from the Civil Registry was detected in Mexico City, with which data and identity theft was committed.”
And, in May 2021, in Oaxaca, “they stole, in the Civil Registry, the identity of three brothers to strip them of real estate” for which they claimed that no extra spending on data protection computer systems be foreseen.
“We have a very unfortunate experience in the hacking that was done to the National Defense files, in such a way that we cannot run the risk of putting two aspects in the Ministry of the Interior, first, the rectory of this council, and second , the use of biometric data”, also warned the deputy Enrique Castañeda González, from MC.
