CAMPAIGN RATIONALE
Spain is suffering a relapse of politics’ reliance, mainly on young people. 64% of Spanish young people distrust political parties and 96,2% consider that giving importance to a political party is pointless. With this campaign we want to promote young people’s political awareness, active citizenship, civil involvement, participation and decision making at local and regional levels in co-operation with local authorities.
