As you know, last Saturday there was a meeting with the entire Board to clarify what is required by our committee with a "Rules of popular participation."
For me it was the first of its kind and I must say that I was perplexed and basically confirms what I had suspected for some time now and that is that citizens and politicians speak completely different languages!
I heard what was said, because I like figuring things out, but this time I've really understood much.
Apart from the intervention of the Secretary, who has sought to better understand what is written in our proposal, and that I personally appreciated, after I opened what appeared to be a campaign rally, "we are good ...." "We did so ....", "We are always available ....", etc. ...
expression that struck me most was that of a councilor who said: "This administration has worked with his head down ...". Indeed, the impression is, that those who go forward without looking around and losing contact with the territory. Furthermore, it is certainly commendable to be always available to listen to everyone, but we also need to answer and do not always take refuge in the "we'll see what we can do ...".
fact on this occasion it was noted, however, evasive attitude in the face of specific requests, but we hope this change requires, by popular initiative, specific answers to specific problems.
Also note the position of councilor rancorous environment, really incredible. But the environmental issue we will deal with a separate post, because there's a lot to say and we say, especially alderman, who truly dimosrato once again to know little about environmental policies.
Meanwhile, we checked once more that we speak different languages \u200b\u200bwe were there to ask to make an active right of citizens and to determine what should be the rules of this game, that means what to do to the proposals, when and how response, all within a pitch determined by the Statute of the municipality and laws of civil and criminal law, but this, in my opinion, it was not precisely understood, so much so that the response was: "The proposal will be discussed when you can, you know, now is the budget, etc. ...", but the rules are different and the statute provides for the well : we'll remind you ....
