Abstract
Through abstract forms of power guided by private interest, human beings have pushed the planet to the limits of its sustainability. In response, ecology and politics must come together in actions that guarantee the care and continuity of biodiversity and ecosystems, within a collective movement that embraces Life in its fullness. In this sense, Primary Constituent Power (the people), as a public and democratic political force, can play a decisive role in preserving human dignity and life on the planet through alternative participation mechanisms such as Constituent Assemblies.
