The City Council of Cieza launches through the Department of Citizen Participation a consultation on the convenience of keeping within the participatory budgets of 2021 the item for activities or increasing the item of investments for that amount.Sources from said municipal area explain that, "as you all know, the Participatory Budget is a mechanism for the participation and management of public resources in the municipality.
Citizens are the necessary protagonists of this citizen process that seeks to deepen participatory democracy, with the aim of improving the situation of the municipality of Cieza ".In 2020 € 155,000 were allocated to investments and € 15,000 to activities.
The most voted investments are about to be carried out, although the activities, due to the sanitary restrictions that we have been suffering since March, have not been able to be carried out.For 2021, facing a still uncertain future, the Department of Citizen Participation is considering the possibility, after consulting the public, of eliminating the activities in a timely manner for this call and allocating its part to investment.On the other hand, the municipal commitment to increase each year the percentage of the municipal budget allocated to Participatory Budgets is still latent.
By 2021, a total of € 175,000 would be allocated for this purpose."In a few days we are going to start with the collection of citizen proposals and we want you to be part of the entire process.
This query is raised as a survey to find out the opinion of the ciezanos and ciezanas", add the aforementioned sources.The survey will be available until Sunday, November 8 at the link: https://decide.cieza.es/polls."Take the survey and participate, in Cieza you have a voice and a vote!", Concludes the note.
