The municipal group of IU-Greens in the city of Murcia has today claimed the government team to implement in a "real and effective" Article 40 of the Rules of Participation and Districts, which sets eight percent in the minimum percentage of budgetary resources to be managed by the districts of the municipality.

Councilman training in the capital left, José Ignacio Tornel, explained that this Article applied as necessary would not only increase the budget item granted to municipal boards, but also to equip each of materials and human resources, to ensure proper management der.

According Tornel also be a good way to measure "how far is willing to go the PP at the time of transfer capacity from the royal government of Murcia neighborhoods and districts."

In his opinion, one of the key factors to make decentralization a "real politics" is the promotion of citizen participation "with full guarantees."

"The public has the ability to decide on issues of direct concern and paid from their taxes, and above all, have the right to participate and vote in those decisions," he insisted mayor.

For IU-Greens, sufficient tools for citizen participation a reality, as the preparation of budgets together in a participatory manner, the direct election of the President and the implementation of all possible means to announce dates citizens holding the town meetings.

In this respect, has complained that it has become a custom that the "most important" plenary meetings, such as the approval of annual budgets, "be it resolved in 10 minutes."

Tornel considered that "all we want to invent laws on transparency in political management are meaningless if we avoid citizen participation in nearby organs and reduce the performance of the municipal boards to the office of president, violating the regulation."

"The figure of the village headman to solve particular problems is very comfortable for municipal power, but going in the opposite direction and decentralization relies on the old dull and personalistic politics," he said.
