Pamplona 1996. The Swiss account of the President of Navarre, Javier Otano, appears on the front page of the Diario de Navarra, and within a few days the voice of the chief provisional official of the PSN, poor Pérez Calvo, forgotten of all for a long time: “Currently, UPN is the party that best represents Navarra.” One party therefore says that another party is better. This is the brand! After all, the PSN label.
Madrid, 2016 Final Judgment of Felipe González: “The government of the PP and Citizens is the best for Spain, with the abstention of the PSOE”. A few days later, in the impressive series Salvados, Esperanza Aguirre and Josep Piqué: “The PP has to facilitate a government between the PSOE and Citizens.”
Between the two scenarios, 20 years, about 400 kilometers, different protagonists. However, the same intention, the same fear, the same solution. In Navarre, cheese theory emerged in 1996 (using the words of Miguel Sanz without permission). In Spain, on the other hand, the foundations of the great coalition are being laid today. The quesite coalition? A great theory? A “navarrizada” Spain?
In Navarre, 20 years ago, those who have always promised that they would not get their bills for good, and using the pseudoscientific theory of cheese, got to work to keep the wild depraved away from the Palacio de la Diputación. The field game, marked in such a demanding way, did not take into account that the area left on the other side was completely free, in the hands of those who were outside the Corralito Foral. That free space wasn't a thing of the other world, there were few loose players who couldn't see each other. Free space, but not empty space, then.
As time went by, sharing the same side of the field, they began to jointly manage corruption and client networks, confusing objectives and becoming an identity and inseparable: UPPSN. However, in that free and desert area of 1996, there were more and more people, more angry, stronger... of being weakened and empowered, thanks to the cheese theory, one was divided into two and the other has come to have more than half cheese. Not suddenly, not very soon, not very safe... Forever?
This evolution is not going to take 20 years to happen in Spain, because it goes much faster, because it has more need, because they are extremely rude. The devils come serious, at full speed, breaking the doors of Congress, exhibiting their moños, trackers and t-shirts.
No shame.
It's like it's the most normal thing in the world.
Like they came out of the street.

We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
Eroso gaude ingurunea gure egoera fisiko/emozionalera egokitzen denean. Besteak ni kontuan hartu nauenean, izan gizaki bat, objektu bat, espazio bat. Erosotasunaren klabea produktu eta espazio diseinuan beharrizan handi gisa sartu da, erosotzat jotzen dena erosgarria delako... [+]
Nafarroa Arenan Mitoaroa ikusten izandako lagun batek “telurikotzat” jo zuen entzun-ikusi-sentitutakoa. Niri ere hala iruditu zitzaidan telebista medio etxetik hauteman nuena.

It is the habit of making decisions that will change our lives with the beginning of the new year. We make lists on three points: one, more sports practice; two, seeing old friends more often; three, going back to Iceland, real and metaphorically. As the months go by, we realize... [+]
Zirkulazioan lehentasunek garrantzi handia dute. Gidatzeko ikasten dugun lehen gauzatakoak dira: biribilguneak eta STOPak menperatu ezean nekez lortuko dugu gidabaimena.
Hala ere, lehentasunak ez dira kontu neutroak, eta historiak eta interes kontrajarriek aldatu izan... [+]
Since Benito Lertxundi, who told us that he will leave the scenes for ever, we have been there for several weeks, and since then many of us have felt orphans in one way or another, with a sense of loss or abandonment, sad. To Iruindarro, at least, we will remain forever honored... [+]
There are three knots that complicate our coexistence in the Basques, and for many years, despite our patience and determination, we are unable to break free from these ties. There are at least three knots of the moment: prisoners, Basque, immigrants.
With the new year we are... [+]
Today, January 21, is a day to remember and reflect on an interesting ephemeris of our recent history. It is 50 years since the lockdown of 47 workers from Potase in Navarre. This lockdown, which lasted fifteen days, caused a general strike in Navarre, the Department of the... [+]
A couple of weeks ago, a number of data from Norway was published. In this country of Northern Europe electric cars have predominated, being the Tesla brand the most sold, with 90% of recyclable energy consumed there. On the contrary, Norwegian public enterprises have no problem... [+]
These were my last words when we left, held hand in your deep breathing sleep. Your heart stayed forever without a special, simple, dignified pain. As you want and demand. How we want and respect.

Today, the voices of women and children remain within a culture that delegitimizes their voices, silencing their experiences, within a system aimed at minimizing or ignoring their basic rights and needs. A media example of this problem is the case of Juana Rivas, but her story... [+]
