• “It implies a joint effort”.
• “Our democracy depends on citizens participating deeply in the democratic process”.
• Or are you one of those who say: I don’t live at the expense of the government and it doesn’t affect me!
Plot.
In reference to past collaboration August 17, 2022 with the theme SOS! … “SAVE OUR SOCIETY” I picked up a long and interesting commentaryhe reader Eduardo Hernandez Benitezwhatok emphasizes the next: “as always you have played a plot of paramount importance – “save our civil society” –, perhaps the most important problem that we currently suffer. I totally endorse your approach. I think it’s a theme otherwise complex because It takes everyone’s effort”
addand: “I don’t know if in a drafting like this – referring to Market 2.0 is allowed land more proposalsI think the main one falls on “the call to vote”although it also seems to me that a lot of people I know just shrug their shoulders and say “I do not depend on the government, so it does not affect me” and it is an attitude that is killing us.
“maybe in addition to raise awareness and assert our next voteIt is important convey that sense of urgency. Compare facts and ideaswith those who still do not see or do not want to see this reality, without the intention of polemicizing or discussing politics”.
“Also you need to have a real choice, today the opposition parties have not yet found a proposalmaybe because fear to the government itself. YEduardo concludes: In USES a few years ago he started a movement of the Democratic Party called “Run Of Office” that he searched and achievedeither put ordinary citizens who wanted to change things in government positions (as happened with Senator Ocasio Cortez) I think there is still time to copy initiatives like that”
The interesting proposal of the page Run Of Office – what is a free service – expresses: Our democracy depends on citizens participating deeply in the democratic process and choosing to lead by running for office.… add the following question Have you ever thought about running for office or know someone who should? And ends with the assertion: You’ve come to the right place for the tools, skills, and knowledge you’ll need … It is certainly an option to consider..
For now, Tomawe note steps immediatelys what signal usa our reader Edward Hernandezwhich we present in the following graph:
As noted above, andit’s a reality thatthe ppolitical art they do not find a proposals. we do oureither the text of Run Off Office what does it say: “There is a crisis of leadership occurring in our democracy. We need more people to lead. We need more people to run for office”.
Be or not to be a participatory citizen.
“Society should not demand anything from those who expect nothing from it” George Sand.
It is no small thing to be participatory citizen and we refer to law what do we have to access from formcomplete, timely and truthful to the information created or obtained, or that is in the power or under the control ofthe government in its three branches (executive, legislative and judicial) and at the three levels (federal, state and municipal); so too, to spend the necessary time as well as have a civic conviction of citizen collaboration.
We have little awareness ofour citizen participation which has a range of democracy mechanisms participatory direct and representative What it are:
• Yolaw initiative.
• Refferendum.
• Plebiscite.
• Cpublic consultation.
• Revocation of the mandate.
• Vote.
AYes we also have right and chance, – being on many occasions a crossroads due to our uncertainties, distrust or ignorance –of power access the integration of citizen councils in public bodiesthis for the design or reorientation of public policies. Our Citizen participation is forced for build democracyit is essential for favor the control of the Y the rulers, to feel better the preferences of citizens, intervene directly in the solution of theconflicts, attend in agreements for favor or influence policy makings public and political decision making.
Nope let’s mourn tomorrow the democracy that we couldn’t preserve today, we better act.
Pparaphrasing the Spanish philosopher Julian Marias, “ItWhat worries me the most is that everyone wonders: what is going to happen? Hardly anyone asks: what are we going to do?”. As a matter of principle, many citizens we agree with the declaration of the “National Urgency” of Civil Society Mexico that calls us to wear immediately citizen work to the territory; the great hope we are all in unity and especially the young people who are over 21 million potential voters and decision makers of your present in the elessons of 2024 and in the future of Mexico.
The day Monday 08/22/2022 in the Twitter Spaces of Mexican Civil Society What is it the option of the ccitizens that debate building democracy, a call was made for two basic actions: “Assembling the citizen proposal” and completely “Get The vote” and offrom its Tand written and with this passage you we manifest a Edward Hernandez Benitez what media What Merca2.Oare free spaces of democratic expression; Y what demand the country of us citizens is make aware democratically that election optionis the best and assert the upcoming vote the Sunday June 2 2024… for that there is a long way to go (648 days) efficiently, effectively and with integrity civic.
