Intolerable paradoxes
Eric Dicharry 2015eko maiatzaren 20a

You have to look at the world from a distance. Because distance helps us see the world as it is. Because distance nudes the paradoxes of the world. And before our eyes there is an unbearable world. Pedophile priests, clientelism, corruption, reproduction of society, insurmounts of determinisms, lack of sharing of wealth, needy workers, Guantánamo located in Cuba, Guantánamo himself, the repression of human rights, the murderers of France for the interests of Res, the sales of arms from France, on the one hand, the lack of weapons from the United States.

The news that is spreading around the world every day leads us to a journey that is called a paradox. The paradoxes of the world show us the weaknesses of syncretism. On the one hand, discourses, on the other hand, actions. Loss of meaning in art. As Joseba Sarrionandia says: “That the Basques are realistic, pragmatic and local people in general, and that we become unrealistic, golfers and noble fighters against each other, right? Words also in other fields, you use a word and you know what it means, right? (...) In the field of politics, words are spoken again as empty words, right? No meaning.”

On 10 May I was at the Herri Urrats in Iparralde to give away my modest money for Seaska. But this year I've gone with a question in my brain. Who will be the winner of this struggle for the Basque people? Of the disputes that SEASKA had with the City of Ziburu, as a winning figure, I see the owner of the land who will sell to SEASKA to build a new ikastola. The owner of the streets of Ziburu will see his pocket increased with 300,000 euros, thanks to the speculation of the land. Here come my questions: Do you think the owner will have a bad conscience? Do you think it was Herri Urrats the money that he is going to earn thanks to the solidarity of the Basques? How do you get the land occupying or paying? In a fight, there are always different edges.
