Mexico City to launch new transparency body within a month

Mexico City's head of government, Clara Brugada, announced plans to create a new transparency organization within the next month. She has requested the General Secretariat of Comptroller to expedite the handover process, ensuring the new body becomes operational swiftly.

This new entity will replace the existing Institute of Transparency, Access to Information, and Protection of Personal Data of Mexico City (Info CDMX). Brugada emphasized the goal of guaranteeing "transparency as a right" in the capital, aiming for the highest international standards.

“

We are going to ask the Secretariat of the General Comptroller to do it as quickly as possible, so that in less than a month we can have that new space.

The transition follows legislative reforms that provide a 180-day period for this change. The capital's Congress approved the establishment of the new transparency authority on May 31. The Info CDMX will be dissolved, and its functions will be absorbed by the General Secretariat of Comptroller, led by Nashielli Ramírez.

Within 180 business days of the new body's creation, Info CDMX must transfer all its assets, including movable property, material resources, records, technological platforms, electronic systems, databases, and archival collections. The transfer must ensure the integrity, authenticity, availability, traceability, and confidentiality of all information under its custody.

“

The most important thing is that in this Mexico City, transparency is guaranteed as a right and that we have transparency with the highest international standards.
