13.04.2021
Addressing the General Assembly of the Network of Associations of Local Authorities of South-East Europe (NALAS), on 13 April 2021, Congress President Leendert Verbeek stressed the importance of the European Charter of Local Self-Government to ensure sustainability of local democracy and self-government.
He also expressed concern about the negative impact of Covid-19 on human rights, local democracy, and constitutional values. “The pandemic has aggravated the so-called recurring issues in the application of the Charter. These include the lack of consultation, inadequate distribution of competences and financial resources, and excessive supervision”, warned President Verbeek.
