CTSSP has met with its members from the Neighborhood Councils to jointly assess the fundamental issues of decentralization.
In relation to the experience of the participatory budgets of this year, the opinion was unanimous that the lack of capacity and foresight of the municipal government is spoiling the project for the second time, which requires time, technical staff and adequate resources so that budgets participatory, not a competition between peoples, but the genuinely democratic experience that the municipality needs.
The process of appraising the projects, the lack of economic memories and the budgeted amounts have not been real, but excessive, in order to rule out proposals in advance, have been criticized since the formation of dwellings.
Instead, CTSSP proposes to learn from the mistakes made, regulating the phases by means of a regulation, increasing the budget and the responsible technicians, constituting an independent promoter group to carry out the evaluations and having neighborhood assemblies genuinely participatory.
As for the Neighborhood Boards themselves, in the opinion of the municipal group, there is still a need for an increase in budgets and competencies, greater technical support and speed in the works approved by each Board.
Finally, on the occasion of the Participation Table convened today to rework the Participation Regulations, CTSSP informed that it will once again bring to this meeting the complete proposal of the Regulations it has designed, a proposal that has already been transferred to the Government.
This proposal addresses the reorganization of the districts, the decentralization model as a whole and the direct election of the members of the Neighborhood Councils, three issues that require urgent regulation ... an urgency that the Government does not seem to share with Despite having promised that I would have the Regulation ready a long time ago.
