The Cabildo of Lanzarote, through the Open Government Area, collaborates with the Department of Presidency, Public Administrations, Justice and Security of the Government of the Canary Islands, in holding a participatory day to collect contributions from the population for the preliminary draft of the Law on Transparency and Citizen Participation. The event, which will take place next Wednesday, February 19, at 11:00 a.m., in the Assembly Hall, aims to promote and expand the debate among the community.
The island councilor of Open Government and Citizen Participation, Aroa Revelo, invites the citizens of Lanzarote and La Graciosa to join and participate in this initiative, "as it is essential to know the opinions of the population in order to create and implement plans and actions that respond to their needs."

In this line, the purpose of this participatory day will be to update the regulatory framework of transparency in the public sphere and promote citizen involvement in decision-making processes.
