IU-Green refused to renew "a finger" of the village headman in Totana "without going through the involvement of residents in their choice" (14/12/2011)

Ask the headman renewed without elections to reject the charge "is a step backwards for democracy after years of being elected democratically"

Mayor Having received notification of the act to the automatic renewal of the village headman, except in the case of Paretón, the municipal group of United Left-Greens want to note the following:

1st) The regular plenary session November IU-Green presented a motion on citizen participation in which, informed of the intention of the government group People's renew automatically under the current headman, not positioned firmly against such an eventuality .

The reason they gave is very simple: it is not democratic.

Certainly there is no law requiring it, but it had been doing for several legislatures, it was-and is-a way of bringing the participation of neighboring municipal affairs, and should be part of the ways of a democratic society .

Otherwise we do now seems a step backwards and a relapse into authoritarian practices that do not go with the times

2 º) The Popular Party had the opportunity to rectify the mistake, admit he was wrong and have been favorable to the motion of the United Left-Greens voting for it, which lost a great opportunity to show that govern not only question of majorities and "command and control" but also capacity for dialogue and rectification in relation to the municipal opposition.

3 º) We want to take this press release to publicly congratulate the new village headman of Paretón, democratically elected by their neighbors and entitled to propose or require the City Council created many initiatives and timely claims him or the residents of the hamlet of Paretón.

4 º) not being the case the rest of the village headman, ask them to refuse, for the sake of democracy and participation of residents in public life, to be ratified as such Puisne pending the calling of elections in their parish, or resign from office if they have already accepted the same.

It's a personal decision to honor those who carry it out.

It is not about parties or political ideologies but of democratic legitimacy and justice.
