Whereas on the other hand, our willing is to propose a chance of dialogue with the body of citizens to understand how the Provincial Executive conducted its mandate, how it enriched the community in terms of “social worth” in the strenght of its expectation and its needs. The Social Balance wants to be a clearness deed to show people through a public document the strenght and the weak points of the local Authority”.
