Opinion Sur
It prevails a world led from the cloud by large corporations that far from stopping the concentration of wealth they blow it out of proportion. A narrow fraction of the world’s population profits in this process at the expense of 90% of the vast majority.

Leveraging democratic powers
In a world that has concentrated decision-making power in a few hands, it is essential to strengthen genuinely democratic powers.

Reflections
About the need to institutionalize a space for debate, participation, and horizontal construction The populist experience itself demonstrated, by its absence, the need to institutionalize a space for debate, participation, permanent horizontal construction, so that the different sectors that compose it can find a space to settle their differences that, without opposing the minimum agreements, will appear throughout the administrations.
