In many Spanish town halls and parliaments, the so-called children's events are celebrated annually, usually in November on the occasion of the International Children's Day, among them the Murcia City Council and the Regional Assembly, in order to bring the Administration closer to the smallest To collect their questions and concerns.
From the Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena consider that this is a very positive initiative that helps familiarize the child collective with the functioning and organization of the City of Cartagena.
The local Citizens' spokesman, Manuel Padín, said that "turning our little ones into" councilors for one day "seems a great opportunity to promote the right to participate from this early age and promote a series of values ​​such as respect, Tolerance, and the fight against bullying.
For her part, Councilor for Citizens Ana Rama, says that it is "a precious initiative, which I myself could enjoy in my childhood when they took us from the Roche college to visit the Regional Assembly."
The council has recalled the tragedy of child poverty, and has joined the recognition by the United Nations, "all children have the right to be able to develop their social, emotional, cognitive and physical potential, regardless of the circumstances of their environment and family".
