INCLUSION OF THE POPULATION IN SOLVING THE PROBLEMS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY THROUGH POLITICAL PARTIES

Overcoming apathy, absenteeism and inattention of the population to problems of local importance is one of the most urgent tasks of the modern system of municipal government. The exclusion of the population from the process of implementing municipal power violates the constitutional essence of local self-government, on the basis of which citizens must independently resolve issues of local importance. The low level of citizens’ involvement can be overcome by political parties, which currently need to be incorporated into the changing system in a timely manner, turning into a modern mechanism for popularizing direct participation of citizens in the management of the local community.
