let me also 4 00:00:39,424 --> 00:00:40,192 beyond 5 00:00:40,704 --> 00:00:43,264 the basic minimum greeting 6 00:00:44,032 --> 00:00:46,080 that it has to do to welcome you 7 00:00:46,592 --> 00:00:48,896 and wish you good days, 8 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,200 Allow me 9 00:00:51,456 --> 00:00:54,784 at this time to share 10 00:00:58,368 --> 00:01:01,184 I do not know if you call it just a reflection 11 00:01:01,952 --> 00:01:03,488 but in any case 12 00:01:03,744 --> 00:01:05,792 share with you 13 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,584 explain you, 14 00:01:08,352 --> 00:01:10,656 why a workshop such as this 15 00:01:10,912 --> 00:01:12,448 have all its sense 16 00:01:13,472 --> 00:01:15,264 for the city government 17 00:01:15,776 --> 00:01:17,568 and for the city government 18 00:01:17,824 --> 00:01:20,640 engaged in developing 19 00:01:20,896 --> 00:01:22,688 of new models 20 00:01:22,944 --> 00:01:24,480 in the socio-economic sphere 21 00:01:24,736 --> 00:01:26,528 engaged in developing 22 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,344 new models in the socio-economic scope 23 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,416 with a disruptive will 24 00:01:32,928 --> 00:01:36,512 willing restructuring as the new city government. 25 00:01:37,536 --> 00:01:40,608 New starts to be relative, since just a year ago 26 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,168 but in any case we are new. 27 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,728 We have very clear that 28 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,824 in addition to managing Barcelona 29 00:01:50,848 --> 00:01:52,640 which is a highly complex management. 30 00:01:53,408 --> 00:01:54,688 we want to contribute 31 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,528 to create conditions for the change 32 00:01:58,784 --> 00:02:00,320 of the socio-economic model. 33 00:02:00,576 --> 00:02:02,368 We know that this change 34 00:02:03,904 --> 00:02:05,952 this change in socio-economic model 35 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,768 can not be otherwise 36 00:02:09,024 --> 00:02:12,096 than being part of the process 37 00:02:12,352 --> 00:02:14,144 and being part of a process 38 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,192 where it is necessary 39 00:02:16,704 --> 00:02:22,080 the existence of a social reality, of a community reality 40 00:02:22,592 --> 00:02:23,616 that innovates 41 00:02:24,128 --> 00:02:25,664 conceptually and intelectually 42 00:02:26,176 --> 00:02:30,528 and that this intellectual-conceptual innovation be carried into practice. 43 00:02:32,832 --> 00:02:37,184 The experience and the people who are here today are, in many ways, 44 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,976 an example 45 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,072 and an example to us essential 46 00:02:43,584 --> 00:02:44,608 so that, 47 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,144 as we claim 48 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,448 almost always 49 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,752 without a social reality 50 00:02:51,264 --> 00:02:52,800 responsive 51 00:02:53,056 --> 00:02:55,616 with practices with an aim 52 00:02:55,872 --> 00:02:58,176 again, disruptive-transformative 53 00:02:58,432 --> 00:03:02,016 would not make sense to consider policies 54 00:03:02,272 --> 00:03:03,808 oriented in this direction. 55 00:03:08,672 --> 00:03:11,488 The Government of Barcelona 56 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,304 considers, we consider, 57 00:03:15,072 --> 00:03:16,864 in the scope of 58 00:03:18,656 --> 00:03:20,448 socio-economic policies 59 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,312 in what we call a policy of support of the plural economy. 60 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,664 We talk about boosting a plural economy 61 00:03:30,176 --> 00:03:30,688 so that 62 00:03:30,944 --> 00:03:35,552 we want to develop an intervention in relation to conventional commercial enterprises. 63 00:03:36,064 --> 00:03:40,672 We want to develop an intervention in relation to the world of companies and organizations 64 00:03:41,184 --> 00:03:44,000 of a social and solidary economy. 65 00:03:44,768 --> 00:03:45,792 In here we have 66 00:03:46,048 --> 00:03:49,888 also the world of collaborative economies 67 00:03:50,144 --> 00:03:53,728 and we also want to create an intersection 68 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,544 in relation to these two worlds 69 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,640 considering the Barcelona City Council as economic council. 70 00:04:01,408 --> 00:04:03,200 This impulse to the plural economy 71 00:04:03,456 --> 00:04:06,016 we consider it in terms of 72 00:04:06,272 --> 00:04:08,576 development based 73 00:04:09,088 --> 00:04:11,136 in what we call comprehensive sustainability. 74 00:04:12,672 --> 00:04:14,208 We can not pretend 75 00:04:14,464 --> 00:04:15,488 reinserting 76 00:04:15,744 --> 00:04:18,815 economic activity in society 77 00:04:19,327 --> 00:04:21,887 without this socio-economic development 78 00:04:22,143 --> 00:04:27,007 responds to foundations that have to do with individual sustainability 79 00:04:27,263 --> 00:04:29,055 with social sustainability 80 00:04:29,311 --> 00:04:30,847 and ecological sustainability. 81 00:04:32,383 --> 00:04:34,943 We know this is an extraordinary challenge 82 00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:38,527 but in any case as we mentioned a while ago 83 00:04:38,783 --> 00:04:40,063 the long road 84 00:04:40,575 --> 00:04:43,391 begins with taking small steps 85 00:04:43,647 --> 00:04:49,535 and what ends up being high difficulty begins in many ways being apparently easy. 86 00:04:50,815 --> 00:04:51,583 Therefore, we 87 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:57,983 in relation to issues such as those addressed in this workshop, we are particularly comfortable 88 00:04:58,495 --> 00:05:01,311 because there is a huge line of correspondence 89 00:05:01,567 --> 00:05:03,359 about how we face the 90 00:05:03,615 --> 00:05:06,943 the development of socio-economic policy as city government. 91 00:05:09,503 --> 00:05:12,063 I'd also share also in addition to say 92 00:05:12,575 --> 00:05:13,599 to say 93 00:05:13,855 --> 00:05:16,671 this deep coincidence of the foundations 94 00:05:17,183 --> 00:05:20,511 to share with you a couple of aspects 95 00:05:20,767 --> 00:05:25,119 I would like they could be useful in some way or at least 96 00:05:25,375 --> 00:05:31,519 that would open a space in the relationship we already have and which we'll continue having 97 00:05:31,775 --> 00:05:32,543 a space for exchange. 98 00:05:35,103 --> 00:05:39,455 When we talk about cooperative economy, about social and solidarity economy 99 00:05:42,015 --> 00:05:46,111 we talk with an implicit assumption that we should make explicit 100 00:05:46,623 --> 00:05:47,647 in the sense of 101 00:05:48,159 --> 00:05:50,719 what we consider economic activity. 102 00:05:51,743 --> 00:05:54,559 Within this area of ​​political intervention 103 00:05:55,583 --> 00:05:58,655 it perfectly fits with what we call community economies. 104 00:06:00,191 --> 00:06:01,727 Therefore we consider 105 00:06:02,239 --> 00:06:03,775 economic activity 106 00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:09,663 that activity that from dynamics of self-organization 107 00:06:10,175 --> 00:06:13,759 it generates resources to meet specific needs. 108 00:06:14,783 --> 00:06:18,111 The world of community networks, 109 00:06:19,391 --> 00:06:25,023 of networks, of community technological infrastructures, 110 00:06:25,791 --> 00:06:30,655 responds to the dynamics of self-organization of dynamics of 111 00:06:30,911 --> 00:06:31,679 collaborative nature 112 00:06:33,215 --> 00:06:34,495 that appeals to the 113 00:06:34,751 --> 00:06:36,799 conventional commercial logic 114 00:06:37,055 --> 00:06:43,199 and in this sense are realities that both the formulation and practice build new models 115 00:06:43,455 --> 00:06:44,735 in order to understand 116 00:06:44,991 --> 00:06:51,135 intervention in the development of activities in relation to such important sectors as in this case the world 117 00:06:51,391 --> 00:06:52,671 of telecommunications. 118 00:06:53,695 --> 00:06:54,207 Therefore, 119 00:06:56,255 --> 00:06:57,791 when we talk about economy 120 00:06:59,071 --> 00:07:04,447 from the City Council of Barcelona, ​​from this socio-economic policy, we are talking about economy in a broad sense 121 00:07:06,751 --> 00:07:09,567 Management, facilitation of resources 122 00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:11,615 to develop 123 00:07:12,127 --> 00:07:12,895 activity 124 00:07:13,151 --> 00:07:18,015 and to serve the people as central, relocating the economy within society. 125 00:07:19,551 --> 00:07:23,135 Then there is another element that we also share 126 00:07:23,647 --> 00:07:24,927 suggested by 127 00:07:25,695 --> 00:07:29,791 the own goals of this annoucement 128 00:07:30,047 --> 00:07:31,839 the announcement of these days 129 00:07:32,351 --> 00:07:33,375 when you speak 130 00:07:33,631 --> 00:07:34,143 about 131 00:07:34,655 --> 00:07:40,543 facilitation, creation, deepening on the dynamics of collaboration between government, 132 00:07:42,335 --> 00:07:43,871 society and business. 133 00:07:48,991 --> 00:07:50,015 The public 134 00:07:50,783 --> 00:07:53,855 is not exclusive from the public institutional. 135 00:07:55,135 --> 00:07:58,207 Practices of self-organization in the world of communities, 136 00:07:58,719 --> 00:07:59,743 we believe that 137 00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:02,815 is public social. 138 00:08:04,095 --> 00:08:06,143 We think is very important 139 00:08:06,655 --> 00:08:08,703 to overcome 140 00:08:09,471 --> 00:08:13,823 the boundary, accessible from our point of view, 141 00:08:14,335 --> 00:08:18,687 when it comes to what is public exclusively associated to what is institutional. 142 00:08:20,991 --> 00:08:27,135 Therefore, I want to share with you how we are doing, the coincidences regarding conceptual foundations 143 00:08:27,391 --> 00:08:30,463 explaining our policies and your socio-economic reality. 144 00:08:30,975 --> 00:08:32,511 I want to share with you too 145 00:08:32,767 --> 00:08:33,791 this 146 00:08:34,047 --> 00:08:36,351 this conceptualisation, extensive if you want, 147 00:08:36,607 --> 00:08:38,399 of what we consider economy 148 00:08:38,655 --> 00:08:44,799 if we want to recover the original meaning of what the economy should be, as opposed to the monetary. Now I'll not extend in this sense 149 00:08:46,591 --> 00:08:48,383 and also share with you 150 00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:51,967 the conception that we have on what is public 151 00:08:52,223 --> 00:08:53,759 that we believe that it is not 152 00:08:54,015 --> 00:08:56,063 only or exclusively 153 00:08:56,575 --> 00:08:59,135 what belongs to the public institution. 154 00:09:00,671 --> 00:09:02,207 Finally 155 00:09:02,719 --> 00:09:05,023 and with this I finish this greeting 156 00:09:05,791 --> 00:09:08,607 allow me to also refer to 157 00:09:09,119 --> 00:09:11,935 the desire we have as a city government 158 00:09:12,703 --> 00:09:13,983 in the sense of 159 00:09:14,239 --> 00:09:15,519 boost 160 00:09:16,031 --> 00:09:19,103 Go beyond the public-private collaboration. 161 00:09:19,615 --> 00:09:20,895 We consider, 162 00:09:21,407 --> 00:09:27,551 that from a government that conceptualizes, develops its political action in the terms that I have explained to you, 163 00:09:28,575 --> 00:09:30,623 the collaboration 164 00:09:31,903 --> 00:09:37,023 must be public-private in relationship to the world of conventional trade company 165 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,583 and should be public-community-cooperative. 166 00:09:40,351 --> 00:09:42,143 Therefore, 167 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,239 and I do insist and make it explicit 168 00:09:46,751 --> 00:09:51,359 that we could not consider the dynamics of collaboration between the public and the community 169 00:09:51,615 --> 00:09:53,663 if you didn't exist. 170 00:09:54,687 --> 00:09:56,991 That said, if I just leave it here, 171 00:09:57,247 --> 00:10:00,063 we could remain with the feeling 172 00:10:00,319 --> 00:10:03,647 that we are telling a fairy tale, 173 00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:05,695 or in other words that we do not go too much beyond 174 00:10:05,951 --> 00:10:09,023 a generic will. 175 00:10:09,535 --> 00:10:13,119 This generic will is obviously there 176 00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:16,191 but we are aware of 177 00:10:16,703 --> 00:10:20,031 the enormous difficulties, significant 178 00:10:20,287 --> 00:10:22,847 of all kinds that we'll have to overcome, 179 00:10:23,103 --> 00:10:24,639 and we'll only be able to overcome 180 00:10:24,895 --> 00:10:25,919 together too 181 00:10:26,175 --> 00:10:30,527 within the public administration itself, be our city government, 182 00:10:30,783 --> 00:10:34,111 be the national government of the Generalitat of Catalonia, all difficulties 183 00:10:34,623 --> 00:10:40,767 both formal regulations, as well as difficulties sometimes even more 184 00:10:41,023 --> 00:10:43,071 important of subjective nature 185 00:10:43,327 --> 00:10:49,471 to the extent that we are people and we installed in logics that make us conceive 186 00:10:49,727 --> 00:10:53,055 normality as immutable normality. 187 00:10:54,079 --> 00:10:56,383 In any case and I finish, 188 00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:58,687 count on us 189 00:11:00,479 --> 00:11:02,783 to further develop all that you are developing, 190 00:11:03,295 --> 00:11:06,111 just as we count on you to be able 191 00:11:06,367 --> 00:11:08,415 to work.
