No despair, initiative yes
It is time to give way to the new generations, not to go through them. It is time to withdraw, at least as far as future policies are concerned. There are many politicians who have passed the sixties, who are imposing their points of view on young people who do not have half of that year, on young people who have been educated in Basque and want to live in Basque.
And what else? The document sets out the guidelines for a 30-year policy by the politicians of the Basque Government, who will spend these three decades in Jubilee and old age, to which these three decades will receive almost all adult and working life. Is it lawful for the old man to tell the young man what his life will look like? They are told that they will not be able to build their lives in full Basque and that, in addition, 30 years later, the social problem of the Basque Country will remain unresolved. The magicians of the Basque Government expect that the impossibility of living in Euskera will cause discomfort and advise learning how to manage this “inevitable dissatisfaction”. Otherwise, this call to despair has been mentioned, inviting the Basque people to “adjust the dream” of living in Euskera. Would you refer to the decision of the Council of Gipuzkoa to halve advertising and dignity to the media in Basque? Do we have to accept in a healthy way the exclusion that Osakidetza makes to the Basques? Will we conceal the impossibility of studying medicine in Basque with treatment of depression? If our parents had had that attitude, we would have neither ikastolas, nor euskalgintza, nor retirement that those politicians enjoy shortly.
The Basque Government considers that the 30-year policy has not achieved the expected results in some respects, especially as regards the practical guarantee of linguistic rights. In our people, however, they are asking us not to look at the normalcy that cannot live in our language and to look at what we have achieved. Of course we will look at you, because the people have been the protagonist of these achievements! But the singing of the txantxangorri cannot hide what is offered to the Erdaldun society, without a remedy, to the Euskaldunes who have done all the education in Euskera and have reached adulthood.
The CAV policy is old for young people, despite externality. Our rulers are tired of determinism and despair. It's thought you've seen an elephant, but you've taken a wrong metaphor from the elephant, which is more appropriate for the last elephant. It takes determination, joy, solidarity and participation to build a society that lives in Euskera. They are the characteristics of youth, of novelty, not of the old.

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
