In the foreseeable approval Civic for an Ordinance
Logroño,
regulated country that aspires to the coexistence of citizens in public spaces, the collective
undersigned declare their dissatisfaction ...:
- With a document that penalizes
direct connection
associations and informal groups
Society through its normal mechanisms
(pasted posters, tables of signatures on the street, 'performances' spontaneous ....) The request for administrative permissions for each of these actions tend effectiveness and legitimacy to the groups, and undermines the most basic concepts
citizen participation and autonomy. Made all the more serious
produced in full 'Capital of the People. "
- Faced with a project that bases its purpose in safeguarding the alleged
as arbitrary values \u200b\u200bor concepts as 'citizenship', 'coexistence' or
'normal' , that at no time are defined and whose respect or
deviation will be interpreted by police officers. therefore generate legal uncertainty.
- Faced with a legal reference
means the 'civility' as the protection of
infrastructure, street furniture and tangible property, bypassing the
value of the intangible and restrictions on the dynamism, spontaneity, initiative, cultural difference and diversity, 'own' civis' modern.
- With
repressive ordinance reduces the need for peaceful coexistence
to a catalog of bans, fines and penalties .
- This excessive regulation of public behavior that, in our opinion ,
contribute to further delegate responsibility
that the citizens must exercise their use of public space (leaving it in the hands of police body) and eliminate the need for critical thinking, expressive and communicative
of each person as much against their peers and their institutions.
Therefore we encourage the council to:
- Paralyze
the development process of that ordinance in the current Civic
terms being developed -
calmly reflect on the effect it can have such an ordinance in
minority groups, marginalized or different, to be held in present terms.
-
promote public debate
broad and deep, addressing
building a participatory and inclusive model 'coexistence' of Logroño own
2010 ("Capital of the People '). To reflect the current cultural diversity and richness existing and does not create further social exclusion.
-
implement measures imaginative, modern and inclusive
to facilitate the public to assume the challenge of a modern city, alive, complex creative personality through the early twenty-first century crisis just begun.
-
Overcoming outdated vision of 'public space'
enshrined in its unjust distribution, defined as a collection of physical assets to be protected and used in a "normal". We therefore propose to use an open space and creativity a diverse citizenry, a space in which reflection, dialogue and
mutual respect of citizens are assured that they will understand,
want it, protect it and make it evolve.
