Sovereignty and Transformative Policies for an Eco-social Transition
The aim of the event is to place the climate emergency on the political agenda and in the discourse of the sovereigntist left, situating it beyond ecology, in terms of class and sovereignty.
A climate emergency as a threat to human rights, to democracy, to peace; but also as an opportunity to rebuild social fabric, resilience, sovereignty, and to reduce inequalities.
It is a matter of making clear the seriousness of the situation and the depth of the changes needed to develop transformative policies that strengthen the social collective and the dignity of individual people.
Likewise, those attending will have the opportunity to participate in a round table dedicated to the political and institutional changes produced in this year 2023, organized by MÉS per Mallorca.
