Estamos asistiendo a un intenso debate en torno a la necesidad de generar un proceso regeneración democrática en el contexto actual de la crisis institucional y desafección política. En esta línea, algunas Comunidades Autónomas han emprendido el camino de institucionalizar nuevas oportunidades de participación de los ciudadanos en los procesos de decisión pública. Fenómeno que se hace más patente desde la aprobación de los nuevos Estatutos de Autonomía, en los que la participación ciudadana, definida en ellos como derecho, principio y objetivo básico de la Comunidad Autónoma, debe ser desarrollada normativamente por el legislador autonómico. Se analizarán en esta ponencia, desde una perspectiva crítica, las normas jurídicas de referencia y sus posibilidades de implementación práctica para constatar si las Comunidades Autónomas ofrecen un marco más adecuado a la democracia participativa.
In this era of institutional crisis and political disaffection, there is significant debate about the need to create democratic reform. With this in mind, some of Spain's Autonomous Communities have taken steps to institutionalise opportunities for citizens to participate in public decision-making processes. This is especially apparent in the newly adopted Statutes of Autonomy. In the Statutes, citizen participation is defined as a right, principle and basic objective of the Autonomous Community, for which laws must be developed by the legislating authority of that community. This paper will present a critical analysis of these legal standards and their potential for practical implementation, in order to investigate whether Autonomous Communities provide a better framework for participatory democracy.
