Prácticas de ciudadanía europea. El uso estratégico de las identidades en la participación política de los inmigrantes comunitarios

Abstract: A MODO DE INTRODUCCIÓNEl primer alcalde británico en España -¿símbolo de una sociedad integradora?"Un inglés que no sabe español, alcalde accidental de San Fulgencio" 1 , titulaba el rotativo La Vanguardia el 31 de octubre de 2008, cuando, tras la detención de la alcaldesa, del teniente alcalde y de varios concejales por supuestos casos de corrupción urbanística, le tocaba asumir temporalmente el cargo de alcalde a un edil de origen británico que forma parte de la coalición gobernante de ese pueblo en la costa… Show more

“…Studies of British councillors in southwest France in the mid‐2000s and the early 2010s report the same (Drake & Collard : 227; Ferbrache & Yarwood : 79). In contrast, Janoschka (: 710), who undertook fieldwork in the 2000s, found ‘a strategic use’ of European identity by foreign councillors as a foil to comment on local politics. But this was most likely a consequence of the contemporary anti‐expropriation campaign in his fieldsite, where protesters’ concerted, repeated appeals to the EU were central to achieving their aims.…”

“…No obstante, en el caso español esa pérdida de confianza en la legitimidad de las instituciones se agudiza en la esfera municipal, pues en los últimos treinta años el gobierno estatal ha delegado más competencias urbanísticas a las autoridades locales, concentrándose en ese nivel los delitos de corrupción inmobiliaria y las políticas de planificación del territorio orientadas por principios ajenos a la sostenibilidad ambiental y social. De alguna manera, esta evidencia pone en cuestión las interpretaciones de los investigadores que han visto en la acción de estos grupos sociales procesos informales y positivos que tienden a la formación de una "conciencia" (Schriewer y García, 2005) o de una "identidad" (Janoschka, 2010) europea. Los entrevistados en este trabajo se muestran escépticos sobre este asunto y, en cambio, opinan que la voluntad por crear vínculos sociales estrechos entre los españoles y los noreuropeos quedaría circunscrita a segmentos minoritarios de ambas poblaciones.…”

“…One aspect belongs to the reconfiguration of the political life in places shaped by lifestyle‐oriented mobility. As discussed in different contexts, this may happen through participation in structures of representative democracy at the local level such as municipal parliaments (Collard, 2010; Durán, 2010; Janoschka, 2010). However, given its prototypical situation, it is especially the political protest outside the representative political system that can be evaluated as a major force of social innovation.…”

“…However, as this article argues, if they achieve political participation within the destinations, they have the potential to seriously alter political life. The right of EU citizens to vote and stand as candidates in local elections even if they do not hold citizenship of their country of residence, creates the space for such intra-European migrants to establish distinctive social relations, instigate claims and challenge established political regimes (Durán, 2010; Janoschka, 2010). Such a commitment proves to be of theoretical interest, especially as it contradicts the predominant image of intra-European migrants as individuals devoid of major political concern in respect to their chosen place of residence (Favell, 2008).…”
