The Federation of Municipalities becomes an accredited regional platform to implement the ELoGe Seal in Murcia's municipalities within the framework of the AdCap4GoodGov project.
To announce this, local representatives from more than twenty municipalities met at the FMRM for the first meeting on the ELoGE label, to learn how to achieve this European distinction.
The FMRM is about to take the first steps. The Federation of Municipalities has organized an informational session attended by the members of three working committees related to Transparency and Good Governance. This session was chaired by Víctor Manuel López Abenza and the leaders of these internal working groups, the mayors of Mula and Las Torres de Cotillas.
A presentation was given on the basic principles, methodology, and work program that the Federation of Municipalities will implement, led by its general secretary, Antonio Moreno.
Also participating were the mayor of Alcantarilla, Paqui Terol, as a councilor of one of the two municipalities in the region that have this seal, and the Councilor for Transparency of Cartagena, Diego Lorente, since the municipality of the port city is also accredited with this important distinction from the Council of Europe.
On the other hand, and from a more technical perspective, the FMRM invited Fernando Jiménez, Professor of Political Science and Administration at the University of Murcia and one of the leading experts in the field, to explain the details of the seal and the work required to obtain it.
To close the session, the director of the transparency consultancy firm, which will be responsible for providing the tutorials to the municipalities, provided some useful information so that those interested in obtaining the seal can begin working on the documentation.
