The G7 and its world on the street!
The G7 will meet in Biarritz, therefore, in the Basque Country, on 24, 25 and 26 August. In a people that is still politically denied, divided and claiming its sovereignty. Resistance to the system in a territory where solidarity survives and experiences abound to generate alternatives.
For the people of Biarritz, the G7 is a good option for some sections of society and elected representatives of Iparralde, both in economic and advertising terms. How do you rejoice at the arrival of the lords? How do you applaud this event that is becoming a Macron communication operation? Or the visit of a crazy leader like Trump, who denies climate change, who develops a racist discourse, promotes trade war and stimulates international tensions? What this summit will bring above all is appearing week by week, according to information about the organisation: situation of militarization and site, risk of police violence, limitation of the influx of citizens, temporary restriction of rights, right to demonstrate, among others.
35 popular movements, unions and leftist parties from all over Euskal Herria NO G7! have formed
a platform and have started working to make the arrival of the
G7 an opportunity to reclaim and demonstrate the urgency
of another world in the
Basque Country
The G7 historically brings together the peoples that are the backbone of imperialism. It's a closed, exclusive group. It was designed informally to influence the global agenda, but from the outset it has been designed to safeguard and protect the interests of the dominant and multinational classes. This summit inevitably calls upon us beyond the local political agenda, as citizens, as leftists, as Abertzales, as ecologists, as anti-capitalist ... There is no doubt that lifting the balance against the major world leaders will be as fair as necessary, seeing the increase in injustices, international tensions and serious environmental challenges. One of the main functions of civil society is to make the voice of the people heard to denounce what governments, even if they choose through the ballot box, do or do not do wrong, what they should do.
35 popular movements, unions and leftist parties from all over Euskal Herria NO G7! They have formed a platform and have begun to work to make the arrival of the G7 an opportunity to reclaim and show the need for another world in Euskal Herria, in collaboration with other international actors. Denounce the policies of these states and demand immediate measures in different areas: social inequalities, climate change, ecological problems, tax havens or policies against migrants. And beyond capitalism, to reclaim other logics, priorities and alternatives and to defend the right of peoples to self-determination.

We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by
social networks and political agendas. Racism and anti-feminism have become two great discursive axes that adapt to... [+]
Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]
The update of the Navarra Energy Plan goes unnoticed. The Government of Navarre made this public and, at the end of the period for the submission of claims, no government official has explained to us what their proposals are to the citizens.
The reading of the documentation... [+]
Since the disappearance of the Soviet Union, rusophobia has been growing. The concept of security of the UN Security Council of 2002 is very clear and indicates that the security and stability of the planet must depend on the states that do not intend to challenge the United... [+]
Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]
Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]
I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.
We do not have a valid substitute ruler as long as this... [+]
November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.
Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]
The survival of the Basque country is not the only problem that the Basques play in the political game, but rather, as a more characteristic element of Euskaldunisation, the one that most reflects our situation. It shows very well what does not appear so much in other areas... [+]
We know that artificial intelligence is representing many fields in human beings: comfort, speed, efficiency ... We've been led to believe that human endeavor is an obstacle to the speed needs of this capitalist world. The aggressions to reduce our chances of doing, doing and... [+]
In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]
Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]
The Sanmartines are well known in our homes, as it is time to kill the pig. However, many people will not know that before St. Martin's day marked the end of the agricultural year. And that was no nonsense. In fact, at the end of the year, I had to pay an annual rent to my... [+]
