The Importance of Citizen Participation
Recently, in a municipal debate, Mr. Martínez made some statements that sparked an intense debate about the state of the trees in Alcoy. The Colla Ecologista la Carrasca has been a prominent voice in the alert about the problems affecting the local trees, an initiative that was previously recognized by the city council for its contribution to the community.
Tree Diseases: An Ignored Problem
Unfortunately, the current situation of trees in the city is worrying. The diseases that are affecting a large number of trees have been a recurring theme, and it is essential that all political groups, including Mr. Martínez’s, become more actively involved in dialogue with neighbors to understand their concerns.
Liability and Negligence
Mr. Martínez’s attempt to divert attention from the real problem, accusing other parties of collaborating with private entities, is nothing more than an attempt to evade his responsibility. The residents of Alcoy are witnessing the consequences of rising temperatures and the lack of shade, and it is imperative to address this issue seriously.
Constructive Criticism or Disqualification?
Mr. Martínez has rejected constructive criticism on several occasions, considering them acts of vandalism. However, it is essential that criticism is seen as an opportunity to improve public management and not as a personal attack. The reaction to the disqualification of the Colla Ecologista la Carrasca is a reflection of its inability to accept mistakes.
Towards a More Effective Management
The responsibility for the care of trees does not fall only on technicians, but is a duty shared by all political agents. Appropriate actions such as pruning at appropriate times and action planning are necessary for effective tree treatment.
The Future of Local Politics
As some political positions remain in power for decades, the need for renewal becomes apparent. Lack of accountability and transparency can lead to a distortion of reality, and it is essential that politicians ensure that their actions reflect the real needs of citizens.
A Call to Reflection
Green management in Alcoy is an issue that requires immediate attention. The actions of the Colla Ecologista la Carrasca are an example of how civil society can mobilize to defend its environment. It is time for all the agents involved to take their responsibility seriously and work together to improve the quality of life of the residents.
