Silencio administrativo en México: qué pasa si la autoridad no responde tu solicitud

En México, el silencio de la autoridad ante una petición no es un vacío jurídico. Es una situación que la ley prevé expresamente, y que activa un mecanismo con consecuencias concretas: la negativa ficta, que se presume una resolución desfavorable, o en casos específicos la afirmativa ficta, que equivale a una resolución positiva. Ambas figuras nacen del silencio administrativo y ambas abren puertas legales que el particular puede —y en muchos casos debe— aprovechar.
