Active citizenship in San Marino: the Territory Secretariat applauds the “great interest of all those who have signed collaboration agreements with the Public Administration and institutions”
Decoration of the green, care of the common goods, active participation: these are the guidelines that regulation no. 11 of 2 August 2021 introduced almost a year ago in the Republic of San Marino, through the instrument of Collaboration Pacts.
“A legislative intervention with a highly innovative character and which aims to broadly introduce shared administration experiences into the territory, capable of providing concrete answers to a company number of civil requests originating from and aimed at enhancing public assets according to logic, capable of producing new utilities responding to general interests – explains the secretariat of state for the Territory in a note -. And that in just 10 months has met and continues to meet the interest of San Marino citizens: in fact, there are already 5 pacts signed between free associations of and citizens institutions for interventions of care, cleaning, shared and regenerating management of greenery and public goods . And the requests are growing steadily “.
“A regulation that encourages volunteering and enhances public-private partnerships – the comment of Secretary for the Territory, Stefano Canti -. We are very proud to have presented as secretariat and desire to love and praise all those San Marino citizens who have chosen to dedicate their free time to the maintenance of the territory and the public goods that surround them “.
Another tool that has already provided truly admirable feedback is the one managed by the council of Castello di Borgo Maggiore, where “the Captain of Borgo Maggiore Castle, Barbara Bollini, directs a group of retirees who deal with the management of grass cuttings – comments Canti -. I hope that the other Castle captains will also take this as an example, offering their citizens more and more experiences of active citizenship. A social commitment that improves the dignity of the country and is good for the heart “.
“As lit by the director of the Autonomous State Company for Public Works – continued the Secretary – we are perfectly aware that the number of salaried personnel assigned to the maintenance of the green is underpowered compared to the real needs, and we are pleased that the opposition group In its press conference, Libera pointed out this criticality, but starting precisely from the criticalities, without increasing the number of employees to the green public, we made up for this lack with a contract entrusted to San Marino companies and with the instrument of agreements, precisely in a cost containment optics “.
