Democratic Parliament of Mendoza
The Democratic Parliament of Mendoza was a petition for dialogue between the citizens and the municipal government, before which municipal authorities were regularly presented to account for the activities and policies promoted from their commissions. The program was in force between 1995 and 1997 and provided an opportunity for civil society to participate in municipal public life. It counted on the support of the government as well as the parliamentarians to participate in socially beneficiary activities. Its most significant achievement was to promote the regulation of the town councilors' activities.
