Transparencia para el Pueblo Logs Record-Low 14.6% Dismissal Rate, Activists Decry 99.6% Rejects

Critics argue that strict formal rules under executive oversight undermine public access to government information.

Overview

  • Official figures show the federal agency received 2,635 appeals from March 21 to July 11 and dismissed 385, a 14.6% rate lower than the INAI’s 19.7% in early 2025.
  • The agency said the 99.5% dismissal rate for 456 resolutions published online reflects selective case posting rather than its overall performance.
  • Transparency advocates report that of 2,253 appeals filed since May 12, only 457 have been resolved and 99.6% were rejected, suggesting a rollback of information rights.
  • Most dismissals hinge on procedural issues—late submissions, vague or expanded requests—prompting criticism that applicants lack clear guidance to remedy errors.
  • At least 23 states have shifted local transparency bodies under executive branches and 13 have broadened grounds for withholding data, intensifying concerns over rising institutional opacity.
