Mexico City. The president commissioner of the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Protection of Personal Data (INAI), Adrián Alcalá Méndez, acknowledged on Wednesday that the organization requires restructuring, but in light of the legal reform that seeks to eliminate the institution, he said that its members will defend its existence.
“It is true that this guarantor body requires a restructuring to simplify processes and improve its effectiveness. Every institution, as has been said, can be improved, we know that, but what is irreducible is the autonomous guarantee of the rights of access to information and protection of personal data,” said Alcalá at the opening of the sixth National Open State Summit.
“Reviewing and improving institutions is valid and necessary, but the solution is not their elimination, but their strengthening,” he said in the Alonso Lujambio auditorium at the institute’s headquarters, emphasizing that the INAI will continue to insist on establishing an open and frank dialogue with legislators and with the next government of President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum to discuss the modernization of the institute and not its disappearance.
“It is therefore necessary to discuss how to ensure that these rights, which belong to all people, prevail,” said the President Commissioner. “This means that the reforms must seek not only to maintain the rights currently existing in the Constitution, but must also expand and improve them,” he added.
“Human rights are only guaranteed and promoted if there are laws, institutions and public services prepared precisely for this purpose,” he continued.
“I can tell you with certainty that the INAI commissioners are ready to defend the guarantee of the two human rights that we protect autonomously,” he said.
