Ethical Code for Local Councils
Wednesday, June 25, 2008 @ 12:14 PM
The Executive Committee of the Federation of municipalities and provinces in Spain (FEMP) passed yesterday a Code of Good Government in order to achieve more transparency within the Management of Local Councils and to fight against political corruption.
That document express that all the representative members of Local Councils need to provide information about their patrimony assets and their holding of shares in any kind of companies before being appointed. This document will have to be handed to the General Secretary of the Local Council.
The efforts of this federation are driven to not just get a signature on a paper but to unite political forces and settle agreements for fighting against political corruption.
FEMP wants to open the door of the Local Councils to citizenship and allow a permanent control by the opposition through a continued presence within all the bodies of government
Do you want to bring suggestions to the FEMP?
