Social associations or clubs?
Summer is a special time for information. This year's has not been an exception. It's almost the same. It can be said that it has been more profound than on other occasions, at least, that we have heard more serious events. Negative or negative events: wars, viruses, murders, political clashes, serious frauds... That's what I said: that's what I always did. But this year, on my holidays, in the face of these events, I have made another thought: general and pessimistic.
In the most repeated news, in the most commented events, in the news that has attracted my attention, I have found common features, which I had already noticed, of course, and one of them, I would like to stress: more than in human associations, people are organised in private clubs. Clubs, after all, are only associations of people with common interests or objectives. But the identity of clubs does not end there. Private clubs have mandatory requirements, in particular the timely payment of the quotas to be fixed and compliance with the coexistence rules to be adopted. In exchange for this, they offer their partners the advantages of being a society or a closed space, have the support of the club if necessary and maintain a “margin of security” with other associations and people. However, not all clubs are at all the same, but they are at very different levels and functioning.
Well, that's the common feature that I've perceived in the most powerful events this summer: that humans have organized themselves into private clubs. Look if you don't:
– For the Ebola virus: I don’t know exactly how many people are infected in Africa and how many die each day; some of them, very few, are from the Northwest, that is, born or resident in the Northwest. Well, the affected countries have been rescued as soon as they know their pollution, transferred to the north-west of the country and tried to try to save them. Who knows what money has been spent for it, but if something has become clear to me, it has been that your great club will help you if there is interest, but, even if it is hard, you will not care about the members of your other association who are in the same situation as you. This has happened with two Spanish missionaries: The Government of Spain decided to repatriate them “by forgetting” the other missionaries of their religious order and the citizens of Liberia. That is to comply well with a club’s obligation.
– The story of people who want to come from Africa to Europe is still there, unable to overcome a barrier, trying to enter a fine club, paying too much for it. But as our club is very private and exceptional, the entrance is not free, nor optional: it has been bad luck who was born away and with another color of skin and very poor.
– There are also people who are members of a very fine club, but, alas!, who have “forgotten” to pay the corresponding fee. Or those who think they have an unconditional right to belong to the club, except those who will pay common expenses to the other members of the club club.Estos do not need the club: they are the club and everyone else, their servants. Mr Pujol, what kind of club do you want to be?
– There are also people who want to organise new human groups and cannot. To see what is created in Catalonia and in the Basque Country; to see if we form real human associations rather than private clubs.

Euskaraldia comes back. Apparently, it will be in the spring of next year. They have already presented it and the truth is that it has surprised me; not Euskaraldia himself, but his motto: We'll do it by moving around.
