White Paper for the Reformation of the Local Government

Abstract

With the preparation of this White Paper for Local Government Reform we wanted, above all, to start a process of analysis and debate that would allow us to adequately advance in the fulfillment of our commitment to present a draft Law on Government and Administration Local.
For the Government, there must be an explicit recognition of nature policy of local autonomy, as well as proceed to the necessary reforms to provide local governments in Spain with more competences and of more means, within the framework of a territorial articulation of the State based in the institutional loyalty between the three levels of government, the central, the autonomic and the local.
