What is at stake when people from Lugano SUE hospital and all the Southern schools full-time call, solutions Achieve sin? And when the Purchasing Department of Transportation installed in Saavedra, destroying the life of the neighborhood, neighbors fighting Caballito Proliferation of Great Towers and College prevent the flea market to become another mega shopping center?
What we are trying to resolve a fundamental question is: for whom and for whom the City of Buenos Aires. Is for those who live and work there live better, or to finance capital deployment unchecked pursuit of profit?
The City residents and businesses have. The question is whether the financial enterprises are entitled to change the life, or if the neighbors have the right to frame the business based on our quality of life. And here is where it starts to become important The Political System. For the "representative democracy", not the needs and aspirations and neighborhood representatives, everything indicates that the City organize a tilt function almost exclusively in the Business.
This is what we want to modify, participatory democracy, a Through the active and direct participation of the population in decision and control of public actions. And this requires a profound and overriding real deterioration of the political model. We want a city for people who live and work in it.
