Citizen Cantonal Assemblies
The Citizen Cantonal Assemblies are constituted as a space for public deliberation and the strengthening of dialogue and collaboration with public authorities at the federal level. Its main themes of interest are local development plans at the local level. They are constituted as the highest authority for local systems of participation. The formation of these assemblies should guarantee plurality, interculturality and inclusion of social organizations and citizenship, as well as of the various territorial and thematic identities within gender and generational equity. They are regulated by the Citizen Participation Law and, among other functions, promote debate, deliberate and consult on matters of general interest, both locally and nationally.
