The socialist candidate for mayor is committed to transparency and citizen participation as the main lines of the political project of the PSOE to Murcia
The PSOE candidate for Mayor of Murcia, Pedro López, has chosen today during a breakfast with the media for the direct election of the village headman as a tool to strengthen democracy.
In this regard, Pedro López believes that citizens should have the choice not only directly but also the village headman to the members of municipal boards.
This has pledged that "if I am elected mayor of Murcia guarantee that in the first year held elections in all districts and districts for citizens to freely choose who they want to represent them without relying on the results to political parties."
In addition, Lopez has come to be explored further in the decentralization and more than half of the town's population live in hamlets and must reflect on the possibility that the districts share services to improve governance.
'When we get to the hamlets of democratic ostracism, also in public services, all can not depend on the city and have to generate dynamics that enable investments to revive the economy in these territories, that brings services to citizens and that identity is also seen having recognized on equal opportunities with other citizens. "
I am convinced that this is the main attraction for segregationist movements that have emerged in recent years.
The socialist candidate also added that the shortcomings and lack of services are also visible in many neighborhoods of the city.
This has highlighted the neglect of small businesses and the lack of an efficient public transport network as their main problems.
"A municipality adrift"
Pedro López has noted that "Murcia wanders, drifts at the mercy of private initiative, where we let die the assets of the Huerta and the decisions are taken without an overall view, for example will the tram before the shopping centers to Medical City. "
The candidate recalls that "big projects such as the European Capital Universiade or have failed, are wasted and fail to excite because they are not citizens think. It seems that the PP project in fifteen years has been exhausted; the mayor and his team are taking a nap and find out what really happens in the township for newspapers. "
So Lee has stated that "to prevent Murcia is news for research in cases such as the Planning Department, the suspicions about the award of the tram, a competition to engage the refuse collection service shrouded in controversy or some works of the Teatro Romea endless need to make a firm commitment to transparency in public administration, one of the fundamental principles of the PSOE draft to be presented to the municipality of Murcia. "
The socialist candidate has also concluded by announcing that from now the Socialist Party will undertake an internal participatory process to work on the political agenda to be submitted to the forthcoming municipal elections and then this project will open the rest of society.
On this basis, Pedro López advocates public participation as one of the linchpins of its strategy because "democracy can not be understood only as voting every four years."
Finally, the socialist candidate has indicated that he will continue holding meetings with residents of every neighborhood and every hamlet to build together a project that deserves Murcia by a municipality and he was convinced that "citizens also Murcia know that another is possible. "
