History of the Basque Country

We live in the age of parallel realities, the new digital technology devices have made the virtual available to us. What is not new is the longing that the authorities have had and ratify in disguise of reality. Proof of this is that the newscasters talk every day about the Basque oasis. Now they want us to build the imaginary reality of language, here and there.

Despite some dissatisfaction, the Basque Country is worthy of participating in the language championship. I don't wear my glasses, and anyone who knows me knows, because I'm on my topo path, I wear my glasses, but I don't see it in my day to day. I also want to see this official truth, which will satisfy me. Moreover, I want to live this reality, what the hell!

However, the defenders of the institutional reality of the Basque country are so monumental! Osakidetza has launched an effective campaign for the Basques to choose Euskera as a language of relationship with the institution. If all administrations did the same! But (yes, you can't pass without it), what you're going to think about is hanging the looms that have a call to choose Spanish. Well, I hope it's an anecdote. On the contrary, more than an anecdote is a perversity to give only a little institutional publicity that supposed dignity and referentiality to the national media in Basque at a time of survival, and to freeze the aids that are owed to them for justice, giving a good amount of money to the daily side of those who closed the Day.

If there is an elephant among those defended, that is the Vascuence Law that imposes on Napartheida. There we see the law against people, in the middle of the hall, even two years after the “forces of change” reached the majority. The official truth tells us that the Basque Law allows the linguistic rights of Euskaldunes to be guaranteed. #daflipat: It is not going to be so true that, without more instruments than that law, some municipalities have already made an understandable request to move to the mixed area until the anti-democratic law is replaced. In response to this demand, the quadripartite power in Navarre will modify the law to expand the mixed region to more localities. But, despite the opportunity, it does not seem that the Vascuence Act imposing discrimination between Navarros is going to be a law that brings dignity back to the Basques, despite the demands of two quartet parties.

Thus, it is up to us to look at reality from the spectacles of the Basque Truth and to continue to act. Trusting in citizenship, as always.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

The aesthetic of

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... [+]


Industrial policies: the tool of whom?

In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]


The personality

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... [+]


Gurasotasun baimena

Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]

Don't say colonization

I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]

The Basque host country?

To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]

Strikes of glutamate

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... [+]

Systems of Life

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... [+]
