Telesino - Transparency and participation: unfulfilled promises A lthough the new municipal administration of San Salvatore Telesino, despite the proclamations and promises, the evidence shows that it can not be said to have made transparency, information and public participation, its distinctive mark.
Perhaps the only subject on which the councilmen, both majority and opposition, were prodigal of papers and press releases, is the situation of the municipal budget, but only to continue a polemic dressed up with personal bitterness, already begun in the election campaign and you want to keep alive without this resulting in no further interest from citizens. The "suffering" of the budget are now a fact ascertained, and no need to waste time and energy to establish who is responsible for this situation would be better to strive to find solutions. And better still would seek joint solutions with the public.
ask how many years, had to be activated by direct channels of communication and information (even zonal public meetings, technical meetings, thematic conferences, etc..) In order to activate a participation as possible aware, before to take certain decisions.
And instead, the new administration has seen fit to make his choices in different areas (economic and financial balance, organization and responsibilities of the municipal offices, the new City Urban Planning, expectations of the service of waste collection, etc..), and significant impacts and repercussions on the daily life of the community, present and future, in terms of both social and economic (tax, health, availability of services, public green spaces, etc..) relying only on herself, without a public discussion and without the opportunity to propose alternatives.
Evidently, even for the current administration, citizenship is not a subject with which to compare active continuously, which give an account and explain the reasons for choices and decisions. And that, in light of what happened in the past (for example, for each incinerator) and after the recent laws on the operation of public administration, it becomes increasingly unacceptable.
In perfect keeping with this situation in recent days seems to be repeating the same script as before: dealing with a problem that affects all of (the established inability to sell land to raise cash and repay a "hole" budget, with responsibility, it seems, not only political but also administrative), and they come to meetings or the majority, it gives some news (maybe) the directors of minority and look for another "solution" to be imposed on citizens, and as always learn about the status of the few things from the chatter of the street and the news from time to time published in local newspapers.
Given the difficult time we are going through and the specter of financial collapse that appears on the horizon, are necessary first of all information and clarity to citizenship to analyze critical issues and share possible solutions.
The "communication " Mayor of the City Council of 28 December, under Resolution No 60, recently published on the website of the town, is very serious! We therefore reason: that portion of the municipal area of \u200b\u200b6000 square meters in area "stinking water", the stream Grasonville, could not be sold as land for you to build two ugly buildings designed by the same municipality. In fact, even the province of Benevento, the current procedure for approval of the Provincial Territorial Coordination Plan, seeks to protect that area, together with the whole hill Pugliano, the Rock, Mountain Maple, Teles, etc.., Considering absolutely precious environment and landscape. But it was all ready for sale! Even had approved the Superintendent (!), And the auction was scheduled for December 16 last, without regard to the "intentions" of the Province, without listening to the citizens and, apparently, without even having the "cards right."
If someone, even if at the last second, had not leaked the truth (that land can not be built), today would have found the resolution of a crime by the administration city.
should now be clear to everyone that the facts relating to the administration of our municipality is required absolutely clear (try to defuse a game of words), and more! It should be competence, commitment, approach, passion, but also humility, ability to listen, ...
majority as the opposition, beyond even their "good" intentions, remain in substance to carry out their role with the old logic and relate to citizens as persons not worthy of discussion and attention if not for the need to retain their individual consent, and remember that, as a community stakeholder group, the end of the electoral mandate, when will be asked to vote again, perhaps with the same promises that have since become a dead letter.
It 's time that you need to take stock of what has happened and that definitely changed the way of administering the country. If this administration is capable of self-criticism and change, well, otherwise it is better you reset and start again all over again.
Citizens in Motion
The revolt of the people of Libya confirms the wave of riots we saw in North Africa. A spontaneous mobilization, infamous and bloody tired of regimes, pressed by the economic crisis and the neoliberal policies imposed by the complicity Western governments. The Italian complicity, in particular, it is quite evident in the case of Libya, whose government has so far been backed by the governments of Rome and pampered, and center-of-center - especially for doing the "dirty work" of the control and suppression of African migrants - up to the climax of the Berlusconi government that has had personal relations with Gaddafi and reverential frankly shameful.
