” Civici in Comune Siena ”, the new association is born
“Dear Sienese Citizens,
in the next few weeks you will continue to various political “maneuvers” in preparation for the electoral deadline of 2023. You will hear the usual proclamations and good intentions repeated with the usual trite recipes and read everything already seen, heard and little implemented, so as to arouse traditional recipes and read everything already seen, heard and little implemented usually disenchanted disinterest, but also indignation caused by the disaster that party politics and power have generated in the city in the last 20 years without any capacity to renew itself.
From the live of an autonomous civic incubator, not servile to anyone and open to all those who want to make their own contribution to an awakening of the City, a new Association has been established in recent weeks called building “Civici in Comune Siena”, a symbol of resilience of those who wish to be true civics rather than boasting it opportunistically.
“Civici in Siena” represents the place where the coherent experiences of Pietraserena, SPQ and other citizens already engaged with ComuneS affirm in the civic path of the city, have integrated with the strength of their history and are now ready to act cohesive, sharing the need to overturn the failed paradigm of city politics, working towards an innovative transparent and participatory government. Indispensable cement of every brick in the civic wall to be erected to save Siena from the havoc that for too long has seen a depressing continuity.
It is no coincidence that the logo chosen refers to the Antico Costituto in the vernacular of Siena (1309), an unforgettable example of transparency and involvement of the people, enabled to know and understand the laws that governed the public life of that time.
Massimo Sportelli was shared as pro tempore coordinator.
Convinced that we need maximum participation for a shared vision of the City of the future, we are in dialogue with other autonomous civic city associations, united by a critical vision of the municipal administrations that have taken place without any real change in the last 20 years and by the will to profoundly renew the method of city governance by placing transparency and participation at the center, with the ambition of creating an aggregating pole of various civic sensitivities that enhance the involvement of all citizens.
We are very interested in the design of initiatives aimed at reviving the Sienese identity fire, that of participating in public questions and deepening the facts and dynamics of the city for what they really are. Knowledge and awareness: only in this way will the Sienese citizens have the opportunity to compete for the good governance of the city, for a careful democratic policy, only for community interests, dialoguing and less conflictual.
“Civici in Comune Siena” is open to contributions from all (write to us at: [email protected]). You can also read our founding statute and the code of ethics, which inspire us and recognize ourselves, on our site www.civiciincomune.siena.itwhich will gradually be enriched with contents also thanks to your participation. “
