Crisis model: unless the governance system changes… |

Some of the main events in Azerbaijan in recent weeks are local execution happened around the government system. Karabakh veteran to local officials in Sabirabad protest by doing he burned himselfthe former of Imishli Mayor William Hajiyev He was sentenced to 12 years in prison with the confiscation of his property worth 6 million, and finally the president Young to Masalli and Goygöl regions execution appointed the heads.

According to the Constitution, executive authorities the president being the main representative of the government in the localities, implements the state policy. The heads of executive power appointed by the head of state are authorized representatives of the President.

Execution authorities village, settlement and city implements its function through executive offices, as well as coordination between other state institutions is included in its powers. However, law enforcement agencies in the regions, educationhealth, culture, social Institutions, agrarian structures, communal organizations are directly subordinated to the relevant ministries and have no dependence on the executive authorities. As a result of the reforms carried out in this area in recent years, the transition to the regional management system is carried out and management is centralized. The last such step this year child by removing the gardens from the local executive authorities, Education It is given to the Ministry.

in Azerbaijan municipalities there are also, but these local self-governing institutions, which are formed on an elected basis, are completely formal in nature and have become appendages of the executive power. In addition to limitations of authority, municipalities they suffer from lack of finance and infrastructure.

The situation of the local self-government system in Azerbaijan can be briefly expressed as follows. At that time, the question is asked: why are the main dissatisfactions happening around this institution, and the heads of the executive, their close circle, public condemnation, social become the central figure of discontent?

There are several objective and subjective reasons for this:

First, the executive heads seize the profitable areas of the region, embezzle centralized expenses, as well as local revenues through various machinations, including fake tenders, and get rich. This includes farmland, water sources, state subsidies, etc. includes.

Secondly, the lowest indicators of the standard of living in the republic are in the regions. Jobs are limited, farms do not bring income, large plots of land, farmer farms are owned by officials and big businessmen, most of the government aid does not reach the population due to corruption and a broken system. As a result, there is a sharp conflict between the officials and the population who got rich in a short time social inequality arises.

thirdly, complaintreferral mechanisms, esp court, the police and prosecutor’s offices show extreme indifference to the rights of the population. The events published in the press also show that in many cases criminal and violent cases are caused by this indifference.

Fourthly, the population does not know their rights at a sufficient level, and the gap with state institutions does not allow proper direction of complaints. For example, granting disability degrees, benefits, social assistance, unemployment, etc. problems are mostly directed to the executive power, which does not have any authority to take concrete steps in this area. As a result, it is as serious as suicide protest we witness their actions.

The listed here and other similar problems show that there is a serious crisis in the field of local self-government in Azerbaijan and it needs to be urgently resolved. Currently political in the backstage, there are discussions about whether a referendum will be held in the country in the fall and changes will be made in this area as well. President since last year, he laid the foundation of an alternative model, and this is the executive power system cancellation being related to the transition to regional administration. Thus, 14 economic zones have been created in Azerbaijan, and it is expected that the management of this division should be organized by the authorized representatives of the president. In addition, the strengthening of the municipal institution and expansion of its powers is a demand for reform that has no alternative. It is not known what opportunities the government will give to municipalities. But the creation of large city municipalities, the establishment of a strong municipal institution in local self-government Azerbaijan which he also joined Europe It is directly reflected in the Charter of the Council. Our country is the only country that has not fulfilled its obligations in this field.

As for the appointment of new personnel to the executive structures by the president, it can be assumed that this is aimed at reducing the discontent that arose before the transition to the new system and easing the tension in the relations between the government and the population. It is likely that young personnel will be the main names trusted in the new regional management system.
