Associations, groups and neighbors in general already know the details of the new process of Participatory Budgeting 2020 promoted by the Department of Citizen Participation and have been summoned by this, after the meeting held Thursday with the attendees, to propose projects and initiatives until next November 11, which will be financed thanks to a game of 170,000 euros.

The priority, therefore, is set for the City Council of Cieza and for citizens.

The Department of Citizen Participation moved provisionally to the conference hall of the Siyâsa Museum, where the head of this municipal area Conchi Villa launched the new process of Participatory Budgeting 2020. The beginning of the legislature does not give truce and there is no time to lose, so Villa called on Thursday afternoon associations, groups and citizens in general to convey the possibility that projects and initiatives are approved under a heading of 155,000 euros in investments and 15,000 in field activities very diverse

The presentation of proposals will be held until November 11.

The municipal official valued "very positively" the assistance to the act, after finding in its participants an attitude "of interest and commitment to participatory budgets."

The meeting was "productive", according to Villa.

"The day has been open to many people with an interest in improving and promoting citizen participation in relation to participatory budgets," he added, without hiding his optimism for this first step that has been taken in the call.

"The objective is to continue working in this area with the clear intention of improvement, reaching all sectors of the population and involving the largest number of neighbors."

In this first session, called 'Developing participation networks', the results of the second participatory budgeting process carried out last year were evaluated, an experience that, in Villa's words, "increased participation with respect to the previous one, counting, as the main novelty, in addition to the face-to-face, telematic voting through a web page enabled for that purpose. "

There was also an opportunity to listen to María Belén López Lozano, Councilor for Citizen Participation of the Jumilla City Council, who intervened to explain her experience in participatory budgeting in her locality.
