MANIFESTO FOR "WIN TOTANA"
Nobody would EXCEPTIONAL MOMENT hides it goes across Totana.
We are part of a general economic crisis in Spain and Europe, at the start of a new recession, which has destroyed the productive fabric of our people.
The City of Totana is considered one of the most indebted in the region and nationally, so the session is mired in utter ineffectiveness.
On the other hand, a political cycle must come to an end: for nearly 12 years, the city has been governed by a calamitous conservative majority, which has been closed to any alternative to improve things.
By next May 24, 2015, new municipal elections will be given.
An OPPORTUNITY will then open new paths FOR MANAGING THE FUTURE OF TOTANA.
A convergence of many totaneros and totaneras of all conditions and ideas to form a new majority that is capable of combining the plurality of the most innovative and realistic ideas and is open to all residents and (with) citizens becomes then necessary who want to commit from a progressive perspective to the future of our town and its people: workers, students, professionals, freelancers ...
In our view, this new majority must be based on FOUR BASIC COMMITMENTS:
-First: That again THE TRANSPARENCY AND HONESTY are the qualities that govern the City, beating the time the court cases for illegal conduct of municipal authorities has been the norm.
We must end the corruption and enrichment networks within the municipal institution.
In these times when the neighbors of Totana demand management transparency and moral integrity as a way to regain trust in politics, we must regain the enthusiasm and hope that things can change for the better, that public representatives must real people and not to other interests, making the citizen prominence reality.
We must restore hope to our young people the confidence to workers and employers, and security to families who are suffering from the crisis.
It is essential in this regard urgently start up of the recently adopted Law on Transparency in municipal management.
-Second: WE GIVE A WAY OUT OF MUNICIPAL DEBT huge, which is above EUR 100 million, created in these years of patronage spending, purchase of wills and even looting by local political leaders.
Output the vast municipal debt is a necessary to take the City of almost universal default that is now provided.
Therefore, the new majority will be supported by a WIDE SOCIAL MOST able to force the State and the Autonomous Community to provide financial assistance, following a public audit, the renegotiation of the debt of the institution, as well as firmly Also, to the banks to give feasibility to municipal debt.
It will be very important here a great citizen covenant through mechanisms such as participatory budgeting to avoid penalizing further neighbors with further increases in taxes and municipal taxes.
-Third: IS ESSENTIAL focus the activity of the city in TOTANA ECONOMIC RECOVERY.
An economy that should prompt municipal institution with a clear idea of ​​change of mentality, which is heading towards an economy-social, sustainable, cooperative and democratically common good, here we go surpassing the local competitive and predatory mentality by a economy based on values ​​such as cooperation, respect for nature and distributive justice.
This will to promote small and medium industry, construction, trade and tourism (urban, rural and cultural), agriculture and livestock from these new values.
We will have to encourage the ability to do business for companies in the town, sale and export of our agricultural and industrial products, the sale of the tourist potential of our town, and the small local businesses, implying it to employers' organizations and workers, and beyond, supporting youth cooperatives, labor entrepreneurship and self-employment to create quality jobs for our children and youth.
-private: WE GIVE MEANING TO THE MUNICIPAL SOCIAL SERVICES.
The economic crisis is pushing the limits of subsistence for many families in Totana, therefore municipal budgets should be more social than ever.
To defend the dignity above all, we must recover municipal services to assist Seniors, children and dependents.
You have to plant the City in defense of Education and Public Health, return to the promotion of popular culture and critical to overcoming the purely populist and customary cultural policy.
We must concentrate on a tighter Municipal Services at cost and easing the burden of maintaining bulky rest of the council.
In short, it is maximum bet for political participation, cooperation, transparency and honesty in management, social justice and respect for nature.
Now four years, in February 2011, a group of neighbors gave to light a citizen Manifesto as a basis for an electoral program of broad social basis ago, and the face, at the time, so the fat cows the cycle of speculation, and was the beginning of a process that we would now continue and finish with this new Manifesto to open the way for NEW SOCIAL POLICY AND MOST much needed our people.
THESE ARE TIMES OF COURAGE AND COMMITMENT.
It's time for conscious and responsible totaneras totaneros and do not want to see his people into inaction and decay.
The present and the future is really in our hands: HOPE win, win TOTANA.
