Overview
- Octavio Romero Oropeza, director general of Infonavit, ordered his patrimonial declaration treated as confidential, blocking public access to details such as vehicles, company incomes and other financial data.
- The Infonavit Transparency Committee accepted reserving specific items from a July 13 disclosure request, including the number, make and value of vehicles and reported incomes from companies.
- Former INAI commissioner Julieta Del Río Venegas argued the classification breaches Article 29 of the Ley General de Responsabilidades Administrativas and the constitutional principle of máxima publicidad.
- Del Río said a recurso de revisión is procedurally available and asked the Secretaría Anticorrupción y Buen Gobierno to intervene because the decision lacks proper legal grounding and motivation.
- The dispute puts oversight bodies at the center of a test over how narrowly confidentiality exceptions must be applied and raises public interest because Romero previously led Pemex during the López Obrador administration.
