The Memorandum of Understanding between the Ombudsman of the Lombardy Region and Federcasa Lombardia was signed in Milan at Palazzo Pirelli, an agreement that strengthens the already active collaboration between the Regional Council and the ALER system, with the aim of promoting the culture of civic defence, improving mediation between citizens and public administration and making the protection service more accessible.
The signing was attended by the Regional Ombudsman, Lawyer Gianalberico De Vecchi, the Regional Councillor for Housing Paolo Franco, and the President of Federcasa Lombardia and Aler Bergamo-Lecco-Sondrio Corrado Zambelli, representing the five Lombard Aler members.
The Protocol provides for the possibility of activating, within the Aler territorial offices, information points and listening desks dedicated to citizens.
An initiative that brings the Ombudsman closer to people in a concrete way, especially those who live in complex or fragile contexts, facilitating access to services, mediation and useful information.
The shared objective is twofold:
- to spread knowledge of Civic Defence as a tool for protection, conflict prevention and guarantee of rights;
- to encourage a direct and qualified dialogue between users and public administration, promoting a management model based on transparency, participation and responsibility.
"This Protocol represents a decisive step in the path of rapprochement between institutions and citizens - said the Ombudsman of Lombardy, Lawyer Gianalberico De Vecchi -. Bringing the Civic Defense into the territorial offices of the ALER means offering listening, protection and guidance where real and often complex needs emerge.
I thank Federcasa Lombardia and the Region for sharing this vision: working together allows us to build a fairer, more transparent and closer to the people system".
