The Urgency of a New Paradigm
In the context of our current society, it is clear that critical thinking and ideological renewal are more essential than ever. Those 2009 proclamations by Antoni Marimon resonate with surprising force. His call to action for a true ideological rearmament reminds us that politics should not be reduced to mere technical management; it is essential that it aligns with clear values and objectives that represent the will of the people.
Current Challenges and Future Needs
With a landscape marked by various crises – social, cultural and economic – the pressure our communities face is increasingly palpable. Tourist saturation and declining purchasing power have activated an urgent debate on the need for radical changes that allow the revitalization of democratic values, often sacrificed to the interests of the market. Citizens are caught between neoliberal policies and the lack of state intervention in issues crucial to our quality of life.
The Vocation of Independence
Faced with the clear resistance of the State and the indifference of the European institutions, the pro-independence movement must transform its lens of vision. It is essential that he acknowledges and admits the historical injustices that have fueled his cause. Emerging voices like that of Júlia Ojeda put on the table the importance of learning from the past and the need for an independence movement that is more aware of its weaknesses.
The Importance of Self-Criticism
Self-criticism becomes a valuable tool for the reinvention of independence. Moving from an idealized model to a more pragmatic one can facilitate more diverse and robust alliances between sectors of the citizenry, seeking a common goal that goes beyond simple national sentiment.
Building the Future: An Inclusive Vision
The path to a renewed form of independence must be inclusive, suggesting a project that encompasses and inspires the entire population, regardless of their language or social context. The question that arises is clear: will we be able to rethink and rebuild our ideas to face the new challenges that lie ahead?
An Imperative Reflection
The issue of popular sovereignty is not just a slogan, but a call to reactivate the democratic soul of our society. It is a crucial time to face challenges with courage and creativity, in order to resist the mercantile forces that threaten to erode our rights and values. The bet is clear: build from and for the public.
