Un evento importante, definito con la firma del memorandum d'intenti da parte del sindaco Virginia Raggi assieme al co-presidente dell'associazione Bruno Kaufmann
Presenti anche i portavoce del MoVimento 5 Stelle alla Camera Riccardo Fraccaro e Sergio Battelli, che si occupano in Parlamento proprio di democrazia diretta
Obiettivo dell'appuntamento sarà sviluppare e promuovere la partecipazione dei cittadini rispetto a tutte le scelte decisionali delle istituzioni locali e nazionali
Saranno presenti ospiti da tutto il mondo provenienti dalla società civile, dalle istituzioni e dal mondo della cultura
Oltre all'evento che sarà ospitato in Campidoglio il MoVimento 5 Stelle porta avanti anche degli esempi concreti
Proprio a Roma è stata presentata e sta per arrivare in Aula una proposta di delibera di modifica dello Statuto a prima firma di Angelo Sturni per introdurre nuovi strumenti di democrazia diretta e partecipata: referendum propositivo e abrogativo senza quorum, bilancio partecipativo, petizioni popolari elettroniche e consultazioni online
Questi strumenti sono fondamentali per riavvicinare i cittadini alle istituzioni, farli partecipare e tenere viva la nostra democrazia. Oggi più che mai tutto questo è fondamentale per combattere il costante distacco dalla politica, che porta i cittadini a non partecipare alle elezioni con livelli di astensionismo purtroppo altissimi. La soluzione è permettere a tutti di partecipare, portando così avanti l'interesse comune

2018 Global Forum on Modern Direct Democracy
September 26, 2018 - September 29, 2018
Since today’s biggest challenges – from climate to inequality to democratic governance – require actions on a global scale, human beings are often instructed on the need to be global citizens
But very few of us spend our days traveling across the globe or even around our own countries
We make our lives in specific neighborhoods within municipalities
So being a global citizen starts with democratic participation in our home communities and cities
This raises the fundamental question: what do we need to do in our cities to make sure they are both democratic – meaning they are representative and participatory – and global (so that they can address great problems that cross all borders)?
And answering that question poses other questions. How do cities make decisions for their own citizens – and for people around the world?
What do cities, states and local governments need to host effective democratic decision-making at all times – and not just on election days?
And how can cities connect with each other to enhance democracy and the reach of their best work?
As we gather in Rome for the 2018 Global Forum on Modern Direct Democracy, people from cities around the world will do more than just discuss these questions
We will work to define the particular characteristics of what makes a city global and democratic—and then enshrine those definitions in a charter for the world’s “democracy cities.”
This work will then travel out from the Eternal City, offering an invitation to our communities and cities to sign onto this charter – and build the links necessary to make each other more democratic and more impactful.
2018 marks the 10th anniversary of the launch of the Global Forum process in Aarau, Switzerland
In that decade, the Global Forum has established the online Democracy Navigator – permitting the sharing and comparing of participatory democracy, in rules and practices
And the forum has visited all six continents, and convened major global conferences in Korea (09), California (10), Uruguay (12), Tunisia (15), the Basque Country (16), and now Italy
