formula longer participating in the note, which was inspiring for new experiences, it certainly is the political transformation experienced in Porto Alegre (Participatory Orçamento in Italian "participatory budget"), which carries germs potentially revolutionary: the renunciation of the political class to large slices of the privileges inherent in his decision making, attention to vulnerable and minority economic, ethnic, sexual and cultural, the momentum to develop citizens with strong critical consciousness the actions of their elected officials. We see a little but the European context.
At European level the largest experiment in participatory democracy is surely the French CNDP (Cationale Commissions du Débat Public). The CNDP is an independent body based national "soul" of public debates on issues primarily related to the great questions of administration or public works. The CNDP is composed of a series of CPDP (Particulières Commissions du Débat Public) that are created specifically for each file open. The CNDP has to decide within two months from the date of the various instances of participation that can differ depending on the case. The
CNDP has at its disposal several options: It can organize its own initiative, a public debate by giving the organization a CPDP created to 'end, entrust the organization of public debate to the person concerned or refer the person directly involved in the discussion mode boobies of public debate.
In the first two cases, those who managed the public debate has two months to establish the
issues of debate and organization. The debate is developed in four months,
that may be raised to six by the CNDP in exceptional cases, at the end of the debate's organizers
draw up a report that is used as a guideline for a final decision
. In Europe there are also significant experience of the so-called "citizens' juries" on this however, we will discuss later.
We also look to the Italian context
The first Italian city to have a statute that is binding on the council approving a
participatory budgeting was the Immanuel Parish Hall, located in the province of Milan
, with 17,000 population. The structure that was given to the preparation of financial statements
is divided into three phases, the same structure that has been broadly adopted in many other
participatory budgeting, Novellara, Modena, Piacenza, Pescara, San Benedetto del Tronto, Udine
etc. . We find a first phase of listening to the citizens through the collection of proposals ol'emersione needs of citizens, this according to the different realities shall be examined in different ways: it goes by the assemblies of specific proposals to build boards. A second step is the screening of proposals, feasibility through tables with a national or municipal offices affected directly by the third phase generates a direct vote of citizens on the specific proposals, the proposals with the most votes are taken and entered into the city budget. Unfortunately, to date, including the legal limits, not all funds in the budget are discussed through participatory forms, most of this money is devoted to the creation of public spaces such as parks, gardens and sports fields.
ultimate, in my opinion, it is rather the experience of the town of Groton (AP) where the participation of citizens in the choices of public administration has been ongoing for almost twenty years
, where talk of participation in a pure optical economic balance is less than
understatement. Groton spread participation by two specially created bodies and committees of district assemblies. The first are brought together periodically before the preparation of the budget and aim to arrive at a shared approval of this document
book so important to the community. The assemblies have
the advantage of binding to the participatory process of community and the size of
public debate, this is essential because only in such cases the private interest is overridden by
Community dimension and becomes an individual problem
common battle. The neighborhood committees instead represent the size of the permanent
participation of citizens, they have a duty to monitor the status of implementation of
collective choices and possibly make new requests. The committees also have the task of preparing for the debate
meeting which also agreed with the dates
government and not least also play an important role
information to the community. How much was born in Tuscany, the first regional law on participation, we have already spoken, but one thing should be added to what has been said, the law on the participation of Tuscany has built through participation (in Marina di Carrara, example, was held a town meeting on this topic) to which the citizens have responded actively redando, for example, the preliminary document of the law, after an initial step in the Regional Council, was, further discussed by participants at the town meeting.
