In this episode, we hand over the mic to Alejandra Ancheita, a Mexican human rights lawyer and Executive Director of ProDESC, an organization supporting workers, Indigenous and rural communities in their struggles against structural inequality and corporate power.
Drawing on her personal and professional trajectory, Alejandra Ancheita offers a critical reflection on Europe as a political imaginary and a global actor, addressing its colonial legacy and the contemporary dynamics between Europe, Latin America and the so-called Global South.
Throughout the conversation, she explores key issues such as collective power, intersectional feminism, decolonial thinking, new forms of economic colonialism, and the challenges surrounding labor, migration and social inequality. She emphasizes the need to rethink power relations and to fundamentally transform existing frameworks, rather than merely reshuffling actors within them.
For Alejandra Ancheita, only approaches grounded in equality, rights and collective organization can lead to more just international relationships and help address today’s social, economic and democratic crises.
