The dark and light , silence and noise, sunrise and sunset.
And so 'on.
Even in civil society, where (almost) everything has its contrario.Vale even for the government.
While there are authorities who take momentous decisions or throw themselves in public expenditure without any consultation and worse yet, blame or throw darts at those who participate by speaking, their directors, what are the ways and places to participate (see post "Life Screen") thus leaving 'unheeded and junior citizens, there are also good examples.
What?
Tuscany is the first Italian region to have adopted a law that recognizes and guarantees the right to participate in allThe . The bill was approved by the Regional Council December 19, 2007. Now, with the appointment of the Authority, is fully operational.
comes to mind to which we would be if they had been prosecuted for these systems Cispadana Landfill, thermolysis, Squares or schools built more recently in our own town and now denounce all quickly and structural design limits.
This law allows citizens, associations and institutions may submit requests for Tuscany on major projects and initiatives, regional and local processes are open for participation. One option extended to all those who live in the region, for work or study, including foreigners, and not just the Tuscans. The one on
participation is a law unique (LR 69/2007), which looks to the French public debate but also to the Anglo-Saxon town meetings and other experiences in the world. It was approved and built with the citizens, thanks to involvement from the bottom that has also exploited the new possibilities offered by the Internet. Since the first stage of the construction of the Act, 13 January 2006, it was possible to go through the evolution of his journey, even on the website of the Region.
The most important moments were two Town Meeting, which took place in Marina di Carrara in November 2006 and 2007 and attended by 500 citizens in an innovative way using the new technologies of communication. But there were also many meetings in various parts of Tuscany, which involved all the institutional actors, lawyers, political scientists, sociologists, and labor. Nobody, neither individual nor combined, was excluded in order to arrive at a text that would be an expression of genuine participation and guaranteeing the participation, allowing you to overcome the gap between citizens and policy that has undermined the traditional model of representative democracy and many observers worry about the fate of the country. The law was adopted as an antidote all'antipolitica, a meeting point between participatory democracy and representative democracy to be done before and better, a bet on the ability of citizens in large projects because it opens a debate before, and not when, at the opening of a shipyard , they get the first protests. "
There are three dates during the year, under which citizens can request that a participatory process to be opened: March 31, July 31 and November 30. Of course, the Region may decide to open a public debate on one or more of the measures included in its agenda.
The outcome of public debate is not binding .
If the opinion is not, who proposed the project may waive or support a different, or insist on the original draft with appropriate justifications. In any case it will be a more informed decision and of course, if the debate was rich and part will be difficult for the competent institution is not adequately taken into account. The projects will be put under scrutiny are those great impact on the region and size to those local roads, new settlements, energy plants, wind farms or rigassifficazione, high speed, but also great new route of social choice. The budget for 2008 will to fund initiatives for public debate at least 2-3 and 30-40 initiatives of local participatory processes. With local authorities there will be a deal where it will be entered into a common code of conduct that makes it easier for law enforcement. The Ministry of Civil Service has already selected this law as an example of good practice.
Comparing this situation with that of ours, especially municipal and provincial level, where is the "dark"?
