Political participation of CBIs Sample Clauses

Political participation of CBIs. The questionnaire also assessed the initiatives’ commitment at the political level, asking the following question: In the last year, has the initiative been involved in any political activities, campaigns, protests, petitions etc. or any other kind of political pressure? Figure 7: CBIs Involvement in political activities (% values) Sample size: 52 CBIs. Date of data retrieval: 15.06.2015 The majority (65%) of the 52 initiatives which answered to this question (Figure 7) denied this, as they are not systematically and actively involved in the kind of activities exemplified in the questionnaire. Considering the qualitative answers, it can however be noted that 14 out of the not politically involved 34 initiatives specified that their initiatives’ core aim is political in their essence, despite not being able to deeply commit to political activities mostly due to lack of time. Also, often members of the initiatives pursue political goals through other channels and activities. On the contrary, 20 initiatives answered that they were not interested in politics or that they are explicitly apolitical and not willing to be linked to any parties, institution or movement. Among the 18 initiatives that answered positively to the question, political activism is always strictly related to the issues of major concern for the initiatives (namely environmental sustainability, sustainable transport and biking, organic agriculture legislation, energy policies, waste campaigns) and can take two forms: participation in demonstrations, campaigns, platforms (11 initiatives) and lobbying activities at the local and national level (7 initiatives).
