It’s impunity, Inai

I tell you the future: the hack the army will remain unpunished from the regime of personal data protection. Perhaps it will have consequences in the military jurisdiction, perhaps, but from the regulation that protects private life, the case will be added to the list of birds that cross the swamp and do not get dirty.

The personal data protection authority will carry out its investigation and find reasons for sanctioning the leak of millions of documents from the Army archives. The Henna You will find that from Army different principles and duties to the general law of protection of personal data were violated in the case now known as #GuacamayaLeaks o #SedenaLeaks (I like the sound #Guacaleaks and in homage to the Botellita de Jerez, but that’s another story).

The clearest evidence that personal data was violated in the leak —including sensitive personal data, such as that related to people’s health status— is the information on the medical conditions of President López Obrador. Perhaps the president is not worried, because he is very transparent and was forced to confirm his discomfort in public only after the leak of information from the Army, but here it is not about personal concerns, but about compliance with the laws.

The Henna You will have to dive into the leaked documents and carry out different inspections Army and its information security systems. Your legal and technical team will evaluate the evidence and present a final report.

It is obvious what you will find. To begin with, that the Army diligently avoided notifying the holders of compromised data. Also, that it committed breaches of the principles of consent, responsibility, information, legality and loyalty in the protection of personal information, in addition, of course, to breaches of the duties of confidentiality and security.

The Henna The investigation will end and its plenary session will unanimously vote on a resolution in which it will request sanctions against those responsible for the violation in the Army (a resolution other than the search for and punishment of those who stole the documents, if this were to occur from the instances ministerial). The rule says that the Henna present the evidence to Internal Control Body (OIC) of the Secretariat of National Defense, headed by Division General Carlos Arturo Pancardo Escudero, so that it is this body that determines the sanctions in terms of the law of administrative responsibilities.

The file of Henna arrive at the desk of General Pancardo, supposedly subordinate to the head of the Public Function Secretarythe civilian Roberto Salcedo Aquino, responsible for appointing all the heads of the internal control bodies of the federal government.

Eddie, in the new song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, asks not to be remembered “for what he did last night”, for what he did in the past, but both the Army and the Ministry of Public Administration have neglected in the past instructions of the Henna. Impossible not to remember them.

The Public function He starred in his own personal data leak in 2020 and two years later, he has not imposed sanctions on those responsible. Among the hot potatoes on Salcedo Aquino’s desk is determining the sanctions against López Obrador for leaking the personal data of journalist Carlos Loret de Mola.

The Army disregards even the instructions of the president, avoids the control of the Legislative powerperforms espionage tasks that do not correspond to him and is an expert in ignoring the Hennaparticularly in appeals for review in matters of transparency.

So the sanctioning future for the violation of personal data in the Army we already know him: his name is impunity.
