Margarita Guerrero, Councillor Let's change Murcia, has assessed that an application as 'TuMurcia' centralizes tools that could already exist so far in a single mobile application, but do not confuse a suggestion box or communication of an incident involving Real in municipal management, as does the mayor.
For Guerrero, no sense that ignore municipal boards as spaces to energize participation and not take into account associations, groups, federations and even the groups themselves the opposition, for the daily management of the municipality and instead the government team talk of "participation 4.0" for the development of a mobile application.
In this sense, "let's start with the participation of 1.0 to 4.0 talk," says the mayor.
The change will be seen in the development of the new Regulation of Citizen Participation, currently on the table, or the call of the Special Commission of Suggestions and Complaints, which has not yet met this legislature continues.
To get opinions, with no guarantee that having any impact, report incidents, "such as a broken tile" or participate in a survey may be useful but not influence the daily management of a municipality, say from the municipalist training.
As for the first Vecinal Convention announced by the government team, "we fear, apparently seen, it is just another empty gesture," says Guerrero.
In any case, "improve communication flow from the bottom up is useless if the questions are made from the offices and there is a commitment to respect any decision of the citizens."
