Social democratic local government – key points

GOOD GOVERNANCE

As local governments become gradually more important, we – the Social Democrats – guarantee good governance in every municipality. Community involvement, care, honesty and openness, professionalism and transparency are the values we consistently stand for. Every municipality should, in order to involve local people and improve the living conditions, develop an efficient internal structure composed of district societies, community assemblies and rural districts.

BUSINESS-MINDED PEOPLE

Entrepreneurial nature of people is a great value which also improves local well-being. The responsibility of local governments is to support local initiatives by giving advice and taking action, also to decrease bureaucracy and provide assistance in establishing and developing enterprises and NGOs.

CHILDREN ARE CARED FOR

Children are the future. The social democratic local government cares about children, provides access to kindergartens and nearby schools, offers high-quality education and a myriad of recreational activities. Caring for and looking after our children makes them active and responsible. Every school should be joyful.

ACTIVE CULTURAL AND SPORTS LIFE

Culture is what holds communities and generations together. It is also the culture that binds together new municipalities arising from the local government reform. The social democratic local government stands for conservation and development of folk culture, along with the opportunities of self-realisation in every neighbourhood – be it urban or rural.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Social Democracy is the force of caring. Anyone of us might need help at some point in our lives. We guarantee the sense of security to every citizen, providing help and care in case of health issues and social struggles. We will make sure that the availability of medical assistance is improved, that our people will have healthy senior years and keep on promoting healthy lifestyle.

SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT

Secure and well-maintained public space is every community’s business card. The social democratic local government cares about the quality of public space. We lean upon the initiative and active involvement of citizens and local communities.

The social democratic local government belongs to the people, acts for the people and in the interests of the people.

The social democratic local government involves, cares and provides opportunities.
