BOLZANO. And what if the collapse in voter turnout recorded final Sunday in Laives anticipated an equally worrying determine within the European elections on 8 and 9 June? President Arno Kompatscher he would not even wish to give it some thought.
He’s assured in a restoration in turnout, in a democratic impetus that restores hope and legitimizes the election. “The difficulty of abstentionism worries us all,” he declared yesterday on the sidelines of the council’s session, “It now impacts all electoral rounds . We hope to have the ability to get individuals again to the polls within the European elections. The enchantment goes to all residents, to the establishments, to the media, to all of us: we should attempt to create a local weather of belief within the establishments, in any other case democracy is actually in danger. It loses when it comes to legitimacy. Now on the one hand we complain about not being very concerned, on the opposite we do not go to vote. It looks like a paradox to me: voting is among the many most necessary moments of citizen participation. I hope that ultimately the results of a democratic vote can even be revered when it comes to the composition of the varied our bodies. The necessary factor is that the individuals elected pursue public, democratic objectives, registered within the constitutions, within the title of the values that characterize this continent, that are these of democracy.”
