Several municipalities in the region, which is not the case in Caravaca, have for years with its Statute or Rules of citizen participation, after achieving a broad consensus in drafting and approval corporations, at the time, one or another political sign: Molina Safe, San Pedro del Pinatar, Cartagena, Yecla, Alhama de Murcia, Mula, Murcia and Lorquí.
The colloquium talk on this subject a few weeks ago hosted the weekly "The NORTHWEST" was quite illustrative of the benefits of effective neighborhood participation in local decisions, especially about the need to articulate citizen participation at the municipal level in order to improve management efficiency, avoid waste, the great fiascos and out possible corruption.
In Caravaca has not forged a culture of citizen participation in municipal decision because, among other factors, we believe it has not been favored by the City Council.
Furthermore, Caravaca drag a deficit of associations, especially neighborhood character, which has neither promoted by the local government.
Interestingly remember what a few neighborhood associations made in 2003, along with Caralluma and Cultural Art Association Jardinico, before the claim of the City Council to make a new entrance to the Castle, to the Barbican Street, sectioning the slope and breaking of the medieval frame.
There were many months of collecting signatures, informational events, rallies and rise to plenary ... until the end municipal officials withdrew a crazy project that was already awarded.
These associations did something similar with Caralluma front, supported by opposition groups, some months before, to keep the environment outside the Fuentes del Marqués developable, as well pretend at that time the government team.
Then came the macro urban projects Roblecillo, Gorrafina, and a long list of partial plans, and other nefarious projects (Information and spoliation of the Carmelite Monastery, reform of the log, etc..) That could not stop complaining about collective neighborhood exhausted and increasingly off, disappointed and, like the opposition groups in the City were ninguneados again and again by municipal officials.
Although the weather took care of them right.
From the Municipal Socialist Group believe that we should promote the interest and enthusiasm for municipal affairs.
The local government must take into account the views of citizens, both individually and through their organizations and associations and facilitate the participation of them in the cultural, economic, political and social life, recognizing, regulating and channeling rights neighbors such as: the right to information, the right to petition, motion, public consultation and citizen initiative, to be heard, to speak in the plenary sessions, to be able to participate and make proposals on the development of budgets, etc..
Ultimately, the municipal power pervade the most essential decisions you can make citizens is common sense.
Therefore, we presented a motion is pending to be discussed in plenary and we hope succeed with the following understanding: Start work and timetable for developing the "Statute or Rules of Participation Citizen of Caravaca de la Cruz" and create a Commission of Citizen Participation, with the widest representation, which is responsible for agreeing the basic document to develop for discussion and approval in plenary.
