Suppose on 7 January 10,000 people in Bilbao. Disaster. Failure. Catastrophe. From whom? Network. Prisoners. Collective. of the parties. Trade union. Social. They don't like yours either. You've forgotten them. They don't care. Society has now condemned indifference, loneliness. It turns its back on them. The success of prison policy. Firmness of the law. The health of Spanish democracy. The rule of law.
We should also read and listen to the worst in the media, in social media.
Suppose that on 7 January 200,000 people have collapsed Bilbao. Silence would prevail, but the impact of success would not only reach dungeons, but would reach many offices, make many telephones dance, open doors, facilitate many decisions, surprise, favour prisoners. It would be more difficult to reject the third grades, it would facilitate grade progressions, permits, freedoms.
Just hypothesis. Those who are thinking of going to Bilbao or not need more concrete action. Among the priorities, also the people who work on the annual appointment. Sometimes I find it easier to think of the negative, what it is not to do, what it is not to go to Bilbao: that the rights of prisoners do not matter to me, that I do not worry about improving the situation of prisoners, that for prisoners to remain in prison it is second, third, that worsening the situation of prisoners is not important.
Chills.
I prefer to think that I defend the decisions of the prisoners, that I defend the path that is under way to get the prisoners out of the street, that I defend the political practice that has ended the dispersion, that I care about the living conditions of the prisoners, that in addition to being legal, it is also fair to try to keep the prisoners at home.
The size of the effort makes it difficult for me to refuse. Recalling the importance of sharing the qualities of effort. There are no bespoke fights, revolution like mine. To achieve something, you have to work with others, with many others. Like it or not. To show that the same effort does little to make the difference in oneself.
Be practical, the best. Punctual. Dispersion is over. They have. You have it. It is. I have. There has been a wave of conditions. That is true. One, most importantly, I don't know if it is that by itself, I think yes, to me, because that's what I can influence: that people are on the street for prisoners, hundreds of small mobilizations, a few colossal. All necessary. Take advantage of the wave to advance along the way, end the dispersion and make the way home.
