In the initial sessions, participants addressed public interest matters such as the municipal budget, construction timelines, and common requests like street repairs, improved cleaning, and tree management. The proposal for a visit to Cal Sant, a historic building recently acquired by the municipality, also emerged.

Health was another prominent topic, featuring praise for the medical service but also complaints about the difficulty of having it available more days a week.

These meetings reinforce the idea that when politics “comes down to the dining room,” more direct communication is fostered, reducing the distance between the administration and the citizenry.
