Amid criticism of President Andrés López Obrador’s lax handling of the crisis, on March 27 the Mexican Government announced it would suspend until April 17 deadlines for complying with procedures under the General and Federal Law on Transparency and Access to Public Information and the General and Federal Law on Personal Data Protection, which is normally the task of the National Institute of Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI).
