The present work consists of an analysis about the conditions that are necessary for an open government, which are fundamental for our system to function as such and be carried out as that livelihood that will favor the development of our nation. Open government and democracy are two sides of the same coin since the measures to implement it constitute a new way of approaching citizens, a revolution in the way of using information from public administrations or even a platform in which citizens become the true protagonists of democracy. The objective of this work is to demonstrate that Mexico needs to evolve towards an open government. The foregoing will be done through documentary research and international comparison. I believe that this work will contribute to the understanding of what an open government is and the importance in our country of transiting at once to this type of government.
