They are incorporated into the municipal budgets that will be taken to full in a matter of days and will allow all Lorca to choose a battery of investments and improvements estimated at 300,000 euros
The Councilor for Economy and Finance in the City of Lorca, Juan Francisco Martínez, stressed that the Municipal Council reaffirms its commitment to put into action in our municipality the first participatory budgets of history, a firm and unwavering decision that will involve direct intervention of citizens in the application of a total economic amount encrypted, in principle, in 300,000 euros.
El Edil de Economía has reiterated that participatory budgets will start immediately, incorporated into the municipal budgets of 2018, specifically within the area of ​​Municipal Works and Services as a pilot experience, which will be extended to the rest of councils gradually.
The development of this process starts with the elaboration by the municipal technical services of a draft operating regulation that establishes the phases for its implementation and evolution
On the criticism of the PSOE in this regard this morning has regretted that this party demonstrates a total ignorance on this matter, although it is not surprising since they have never believed in participatory budgets.
In fact they had 28 years of government and did nothing, so it is even more paradoxical that they now criticize and try to deceive people.
Martínez Carrasco has indicated that these criticisms show that the PSOE ignores the operation of participatory budgets, or worse, that it does know and has tried to deceive people, although we trust that it is not the latter.
In any case the processing of participatory budgets continues its course in a positive way, after achieving from the Municipal Executive to approve unanimously a motion in this regard in the plenary session of last September, which will be reflected in the next municipal accounts.
The Economy Edil has highlighted that it is planned, following similar models that are already being applied with positive results, that the different social groups of the municipality channel the citizen proposals and these are transferred to a technical team that determines its viability.
Once finalized, they will be published in the new portal of participation that will be put into operation for that purpose in www.lorca.es where citizens will have the opportunity to vote directly the option they like the most.
Martínez Carrasco explained that "we are talking about a tool for citizen participation and participatory democracy.
With it citizens can directly decide the fate of a part of public resources.
In this way, together we can look for the best solutions to existing needs.
In addition, this type of budget is a decisive step in the firm conviction that the walls of the City of Lorca are crystal clear in transparency, participation and open government.
Participatory budgets allow to offer greater transparency and effectiveness to the management of public resources, opening a dialogue between citizens, their political representatives and the technical staff of the Administration on issues such as where and how public money is going to be invested " .
